In the current economic climate it's important to know whether you can trust local businesses in your community. But where do you go to find the good guys? And what do you do when you have a bad experience with a business?

If you're looking for a convenient way to get your business noticed on the Web (or to publicize your experience with a local business), you're probably looking for Yescalate, a site were local business information is built by users.

Yescalate is a wiki, a site where users collaborate to create content and built knowledge for the Internet. On the one hand, Yescalate works like the business pages of an online phone book. You can put basic information (street address, products and services, phone numbers, prices, website, even pictures) on a Yescalate entry about your business. On the other hand, your customers can add to the site, creating comments or adding to the content about your business.

Best of all, you don't have to deal with sales people or pay some fee the way you world with a newspaper or phonebook ad. The site is free to use, and free to build.
