Local businesses (at least in rural areas) aren't very tech savvy or even computerized, and many couldn't afford the time/effort/connectivity to do such a thing, though you might get some of the shining stars in the area (around here theres, some candy makers, a rock shop, several wineries, local honey, olive oil, and a few professional entertainers, artists and craftspeople). My local business concept in development is http://www.doPlaces.com http://www.doPlaces.com - a better local guide; geared for tourists as well as locals, has more detail and uses a lot of categorization and cross-linking, also some mapping to make finding stuff around here easier. Lists businesses groups, services, makers, entertainers, events, attractions, etc. Similar has been done by numerous big guys but most of their listings are out of date, inaccurate, or just woefully incomplete. I figure there is a niche for mom-n-pop community guides, that provide better information that are locally maintained.
