Review Local Businesses

At work, they sent us an announcement about a contest that yellowpages.com is running now. In order to add to their database of reviews for businesses, they are giving away chances to win up to $50,000. On top of that, you could win AT&T gift cards up to $200. Normally, I don’t post anything commercial, but this seems like a good chance to promote our local businesses and possibly make a buck or two. You have up to three chances to win every day.
