The folks at 37Signals recently released a new service called Haystack, a directory of web designers. Designers are able to post examples of their work and their average project size for free. For $99 per month they can get a premium listing with a logo and prime placement. My only disappointment is the lack of commenting or other social media features.  There's no feedback mechanism to allow folks to comment or aggregation of comments from the larger digital world. The do have a link to post to twitter, but I would expect more than that today, especially for a service that offers no vetting of the listings.

For now it's a one-way conversation. I hope for more in the future.
