Anyone used Weedle to find a tradesman?

This is a new Irish owned internet start-up with worldwide ambitions to be a new Facebook or Linked In.

I can't really figure out how it works. I typed in roofer Dublin and got a few people, but there is no recommendations or any reason for me to use them any more than I would use someone from the Golden Pages. It may be that it needs people to start recommending them.

Thanks for the link.

I joined up and entered some basic info, as I'm self employed.

I then looked at some people in the same industry as myself, and viewed some images. The images are not reduced in size, so a simple picture was 2.6Mb, which is a very large file... un-nessecarily large. This is suprising as the website is technically advanced. It has many features, each of which may not be mindblowing by itself, but in combination the site must be described as technically advanced.

There seems to be quite a few users from around the globe already...

I'll post more feedback later if anyone is interested...
