They appear to be basically a service information center.  Looking 
for a painter or remodeler in your area? You go on their site and 
painter or remodelers who've put their service up there show up. I 
think I looked around on their site  pretty good a while back,  they 
appeared to be trying to make a Craig's list for local services type 
thing. I hadn't done any more checkign on that, I just wondered if 
anyone else had any experience  with them. Evidently they found my 
web site  from a writing perspective. Anyway just wondered. I always 
put such things in the "spam"  or brow raising category until they 
earn their way out :). I just know in a marketing need I have for a 
project I'm working on, I too could be perceived as spam. 
Unfortunately there's a fine line between legitimately getting word 
out there to potential clients in an efficient and  affordable 
manner, and being considered spam.
