I've just started a new local search tool that aims to be different from current ones like Google's or Yahoo's - it's not restricted just to the US or any other country, it's worldwide. It's based purely on user contributed listings of shops and businesses. So, if you're willing to contribute, have a look at http://local.er1.be/ Also let me have your comments about the site.

Hi Madhavan, I don't have anything to contribute at present, but I think this is a really good idea. I live in the United States, but I'd guess there's probably significant demand for this type of localized search internationally, as well. Just out of curiosity, do you intend to screen and/or edit user submissions? Best of luck - I'm sure you'll do well. Sam
