Angie from Angie’s List A short video where Angie explains why medical gag orders go against your First Amendment rights (the opening commercial is short).

Have you ever run into a problem with a company and wished someone had told you about how bad that service was. If you lived in a small town or have lived in an area long enough you could probably ask your cousin or neighbor or a co-worker. But what if you are new to an area or you you have a new problem to solve and no one to ask about it.

Welcome to Angie’s List. They have a list on almost any service you can think of using. And they have comments about that service from REAL PEOPLE. That’s right, real people who have used the company or service provider and given their opinion, good or bad, for that service or company. And before the comments are posted, all reviews are checked in order to guard against companies that try to report on themselves or their competitors.

They are constantly adding areas, services and comments to their list. As each new person signs up, more and more information is added to the list.

Yes, this is a paid service. They have monthly, annually and multi-years rates, depending on what you want to pay. Their rates are highly reasonable and fair, considering the information you will receive. Even if Angie’s List is new to your area. They offer a free one-year membership for the first few months they are in your area. Members who sign up during this time period help them build the List. After your first year, you’ll have the option, not obligation, to renew your membership at the regular monthly or annual price.

More than 650,000 members nationwide use Angie’s List. The people who join Angie’s List are like you – looking for a way to find trustworthy companies that perform high quality work.

Member benefits include:

* 24-hour access to the reports and reviews at AngiesList.com
Just think how valuable that would be at 11:00 pm on a Saturday night and the air conditioner goes out.
* Real-live support through Angie’s award-winning call center
* Angie’s List Magazine
An email version will be delivered to members with complimentary memberships. Paying members also receive a hard copy in the mail.

* Access to Angie’s Complaint Resolution Process
If you don’t receive the quality of work that you expected from a service company, Angie’s works to resolve the situation on your behalf.

Angie’s Complaint Resolution Process is an excellent service. It’s a service designed exclusively for Angie’s List members to help restore communication between you and a company you’re having a problem with.

If your complaint qualifies (go to AngiesList.com for the rules of the game), they will contact the company in question on your behalf. And space permitting, they may print the outcome of your complaint in their magazine and on their website — good or bad!

Companies that don’t respond to your complaints end up in the “Penalty Box,” and their name appears in the magazine for three consecutive months.

They have helped a lot of our members get refunds, repairs and re-dos for remodeling jobs of all types. How? There’s power in numbers, and you have the strength of the entire Angie’s List membership base behind you.

And that is the real worth in an Angie’s List membership. As a single individual, you may feel powerless against a company but with 650,000 people to stand with you, you are a veritable giant. So check it out, click on the box in the left column or on the highlighted links in the text, I think you will be pleasantly suprised.

Be Well.
