Another BIG selling point to me is… paying money keeps out trolls and hinders those gaming the system. While a business could buy 10 friends a membership to go say nice things, I believe most won't because it look so odd in the context of Angie's List.

I prefer to ask folks that I know for a referral, but I think Angie's List is the next best step if you can't find a person you know.

Great story. :) You've piqued my interest in Angie's list which is a site I was previously unfamiliar with...

How simple is that? The need to be able to tie these customer care efforts back to sales/subscriptions/etc exists though, ROI anyone?, and will probably be the next breakthrough evolution with this medium.
