Most local businesses will not be able to keep up with all the locations they need to update and maintain. If you add that Twittering will become an addon to local business listings, the potential of dissatisfied customers walking out the door and Twittering or writing a review will add to the burden for local businesses to manage these listings. Something we recently read at KillerStartUps are companies that are offering a low cost service to update then manage these listings for companies. You can read about this at KillerStartUps here: http://www.killerstartups.com/Search/smartfindslocallisting-com-be-found-online It is a changing world and the local business will benefit. There will be some adjustment to this space needed. Hello,
