BizWiki.com launch - Small Businesses Wiki-power

CHICAGO, Aug. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Bizwiki.com launched across the USA today, promising to change the way local search works by enabling its users to build up the most detailed and up-to-date index of business in the United States.

In a break with traditional Yellow Pages websites, Bizwiki invites business owners and representatives to get involved in adding and improving their records with everything from contact details to prices and opening hours, completely free of charge.

"An early Alpha-version of Bizwiki.com was tested on the web in December 2008, and several hundred thousand people are already using it each month," said Bizwiki co-founder Matt Aird.

"There is definitely a strong demand for the sort of information a Web 2.0 business site can deliver, and the increasing amount of users on the site provides a compelling motivation for businesses to get involved in adding and editing their listings."

"Bizwiki blends an 'anyone-can-edit' approach to empower users with robust functionality developed specifically for businesses. The result is that Bizwiki.com is built in a consistently structured format, allowing us to rapidly scale-up the amount of information available and provide a better search experience for users."
