It is working, it's just slow. I noticed in their press release that they made a big deal out of ReCycle North being the best place to go for computer repairs... but I had a hard time even finding ReCycle North when I search for "computer repair," (you have to search, then ask it to display the results according to what's top ranked). Not that I would take my computer there to begin with. Of course, the top ranked "computer repair" destination is the Vermont Panurgy Corporation: http://www.panurgyvt.com/ Huh? I take that back. It is working, it’s just slow.

Your comments are on point when you say that people can get local referals from one another. In no way do we seek to replace that dynamic, but instead offer a complement where requesting advice may be too time-consuming or inconvenient. grayboxx isn't perfect, but we hope to add some value through local recommendations, especially since the Yahoo Local's and CitySearch's have very little content in towns like Burlington. Best, Bob -- Bob Chandra Chief grayboxx Officer, grayboxx Hi Michael,

Thanks for covering grayboxx. Your comments are on point when you say that people can get local referals from one another. In no way do we seek to replace that dynamic, but instead offer a complement where requesting advice may be too time-consuming or inconvenient.

grayboxx isn’t perfect, but we hope to add some value through local recommendations, especially since the Yahoo Local’s and CitySearch’s have very little content in towns like Burlington.

Best,
Bob
