With regards to #2 on your list "Yelp for Business Services" there is a company called Contact Karma http://www.contactkarma.com/ which aims to do something along the lines of what you're looking for. My company will also eventually be in the space and allow you to search and discover recommendations through friends and friends of friends in your social networks. For the most part we're restaurants, entertainment, and services for now while we perfect the data but you can see if you're connected in anyway by checking out http://www.cliqsearch.com

#1 - doesn't Clicktale do exactly this?

I secretly love watching the thought process of people as they fill out a form.

If I've understood #1 correctly, this year's node knockout winner does exactly this. http://observer.no.de/features

The demo appears to be buggy, but they seem to have something substantial in the works. From the website:

Please note that Observer was build during the Node Knock Out, a 48 hour coding competition. The commercial version currently in developement, this free service will stay online as long as there are resources to support it.

update: ClickTale does this perfectly, down creating playable videos. http://www.clicktale.com/

How does AngiesList not satisfy #2?

Seems to me that this article could be a little less manna-from-heaven and more inclusive of the unmentioned-but-existent.
