Just a quick post about Yelp. It’s another community-focused review site that allows users to review & rate various things around their neck of the woods, but at a quick glance it seems like a well-used site so I plan on returning to check it out further. So, for now, here’s the blurb from their site…

What is Yelp?

Yelp is an online urban city guide that helps people find cool places to eat, shop, drink, relax and play, based on the informed opinions of a vibrant and active community of locals in the know. Yelp is the fun and easy way to find, review and talk about what’s great – and not so great – in your world.

And Yes! Every feature and function you see on Yelp is free for our members.

Why not just email friends or ask them in person? Yelp stands out from traditional word of mouth:
By creating an easy and fun way for real locals to share opinions on the places they know and go.
By fostering a vibrant community of locals who feel connected both on Yelp and, gasp, in the real world.
And, by connecting the well-written and insightful reviews to the actual human beings who wrote them – what we call Real People, Real Reviews.
