This Black Friday weekend is Small Business Saturday, a grass-roots effort to promote small businesses in your communities.

They are pushing this weekend event via the social networks, so this is right up out alley. If you know some great local businesses around you, take to Twitter, Facebook, and Foursquare and let the world know how awesome they are!

Small businesses are truly the backbone of society and I encourage everyone to shop and eat local this weekend. Just say no to big business and store chains. Try it, you'll like it!

Lates!
