Askmynetwork.com online service directory, RATING

Need a good plumber for your business? Or an efficient solicitor? The chances are you're more likely to trust one recommended by someone you know, writes Dan Box.

Askmynetwork.com, which was launched in London's Soho last month, provides a directory that encourages people to share their contacts.

The website's founder, Joe Tarragano, said "I'd got through umpteen plumbers and had just about given up when it turned out a friend of a friend had retrained as a plumber.

"It occurred to me then that there was a whole world of information, if I could just get access to the knowledge my friends had."

Joining Ask My Network is free and allows you to search a directory of businesses that have been recommended by other members.

The theory behind it is that everybody is - albeit sometimes loosely - connected to everybody else. So, next time you're looking for a plumber, this could be the place to turn.
