The cost in time alone of answering legal calls from the companies listed would make such a site untenable if run properly. And if not run properly it would be so rife with fake information (from disgruntles customers going too far, people trying to blackmail companies with the threat of bad reviews, and competitors crossing the line) so as to be of no real use.
I'm was not thinking of a yelp type of website where people can post whatever they want. I was thinking that all of the links would go to articles written by reputable journalists and newspapers.
Agreed. I would see it as a listing of companies with appropriate citations for the claims as to steer clear of defamation. However, you are still going to be dealing with constant C&D's as a result of the content, regardless of its merit.
