More than 200 million Americans use the Internet on a regular basis. One of the most popular ways they use the web is to plan travel or look for what's happening in their own neighborhood. Building on the idea that people are experts on where they live and the places they traveled, Yahoo! is encouraging Internet users to share their knowledge with the world. A new sweepstakes called, "Best of Yahoo!" encourages people to write online reviews about everything from destinations and hotels to pizza parlors and flower shops. Three lucky people who submit reviews over the next six weeks will even win a new Mazda car. Lorna Borensteen of Yahoo! Search:
"Yahoo! wants to empower the consumer with information that was previously unavailable to them by allowing them to tap into Yahoo's huge network of community knowledge. We believe that user ratings and recommendations really help people to make educated decisions on what to do with their valuable time and their money."
To enter the sweepstakes, log on to Yahoo and simply search "Best of Yahoo."
