Its an advertising scam, IMHO.
I was looking for chimny sweeps.
Already knew several local companies to avoid like the plague.
Went to Angie's List. Had to "register" and provide detailed data.
Already, my antennae are twitching.
Get into the site.
Exactly one chimney sweep,
A local company with a bad reputation, IMHO.
A day or so after "registering" the deluge of E mail ads begins.
Fortunately I had used a throw away E mail address.
IMHO, a pure advertising scam used to harvest and validate E mail
addys.
Also, IMHO, will put any vendor in the data base who pays a fee.
YMMV.

Dunno about St Louis. Have used in Twin Cities for a bunch of years.
Have had a lot of work done on our house, and have only gone to those
contractors that people liked on Angie's List. Every job (siding,
roof, driveway, painting, tree service, a few others) was done on
time, to my expectations and within stated cost. I have no complaints;
it is useful to see/read what others think about contractors for
various services. Otherwise, in many cases, you just pick one from the
yellow pages and hope for the best...
In terms of email spam, well, haven't gotten any. I get a request from
Angie's List to fill in an evaluation on work done on my property, but
certainly no spam.
Overall I veiw it as a very useful service, and well worth the nominal
cost to join. I am not employed by and have no links to Angie's except
as a satisfied user.
