Quite likely because the companies themselves are sending their clients to the HomeStars site and asking for the reviews. We think 20% is a good number, but its a good internal debate.</p> Sat, 06 Dec 2008 13:50:25 -0500 Brian Sharwood 1106770 at http://www.fastcompany.com http://www.fastcompany.com/comment/comment-node-ant-3474 <p>This is a great article about the power and perils of review sites. Our company faces similar challenges as many of the companies listed above being the largest free home reno review site out there. Home improvement specialists, not being the most online savvy group, have a hard time understanding the power of the social network, yet take great pride in their work. A single bad review not only hurts their reputation, but is often a personal affront to their skills and talent individually. A challenging place for a review directory.</p> Wed, 03 Dec 2008 18:38:47 -0500 Brian Sharwood 1103527 at http://www.fastcompany.com
