Anybody have any ideas for a great local website - something that people in the community would love to frequent. Coupon sites already exist - business directories are all over - "fun stuff to do" sites exist...

What hasn't been done yet? I thought about a site like Yahoo Answers, but a "My City" Answers. People could come and just ask questions about the community and other people in the community would answer them. Maybe you earn prizes for getting votes on best answers...

I have the development skills - just stuck on a really cool idea. If anyone has already come up with an awesome "local" site, or has the idea but not the skills to develop it - please share!!

    Combine that with a coupon site and you might really have something. Best answers earn rewards or additional discounts or something.

      I do reviews, or "best places to" kind of sites. You want high PR home page links to your site, send the embed code for their "5 Star" badge that links to their review(s). Be super discriminate about who gets these top reviews.

      To validate it, you may even send the business a window sticker or framed certificate... whatever is most affordable/logical in the market.
