Merchant Circle - Claim your FREE business web page
Being in Silicon Valley, we get access to a lot of website based services which evolve into powerhouses which change the way we do businesses.  Think about craigslist, google, ebay, etc..... 

I went to a meeting last night to learn about a new site called Merchant Circle.  I don't proclaim to be the a tech maven, but this could be an awesome breakout tool for Realtors, or other small business owners for that matter, especially those who do not have a web presence, to get a foothold and control their web presence.  It started out in June of last year but already has nearly 90,000 merchants who claimed their pages already.   It is search engine optimized and it page ranked 7 on Google.  As the BusinessWeek article above mentioned, it is like Myspace for local businesses. 
So what does it do?  Basically, it gives business owners a search engine optimized presence on the internet with easy to use tools to market themselves and manage their online reputation.   It pulls information from yellow pages and build the template for you FREE and all you have to do is claim it using your business phone number.    
 
 The number above is Merchant Circle's own phone number, but you enter your own and then follow the instructions.
