recommending local businesses?

In the old Live Journal for Davis Square, you could

(1) search the site for local dry cleaners to avoid, or where to get the car washed, etc.

(2) post a recommendation for a particular business you're happy with (that would be tagged for people doing their own search)

I don't get the impression that these two tasks fit with this new site - is there another site for this kind of information?

I'm confused - what's the difference between "recent entries" (which has yesterday's entries) and "member posts" (which has today's entries)? thank you
