Who uses Yelp here?

[ChrisFL]

What do you like about it? What do you not like about it?

Do you use it for restaurants only or other things?

I'm doing some research for a top secret project

Funny you should ask this because I was just on Yelp.

I use it for just about anything. I usually don't go directly to Yelp. If I want to get some info on any type of business (other than the website) I will usually just Google it and if Yelp comes up in the search I will go there to look at reviews.

There really isn't anything I don't like about it, but I can't say there really is anything that about it that I would go out of my way to go directly to the Yelp website for.

I use Yelp a lot, mostly for restaurants and ATMs. I use it on an Android phone and the feature I use most, especially while traveling, is the around me feature.

I can't say there is anything I don't like about it but I don't put too much stock in the reviews. That isn't really a Yelp issue though, I think the same of reviews on TripAdvisor and other sites like that.

I will trust just about any review site before i trust yelp. They have a bad reputation and some pretty shady claims. KFI, my local news radio devoted an entire show one day to callers who had seen the ratings of their business plummet after they told the Yelp salesmen no.

If we're trying a new-to-us restaurant, I'll sometimes read reviews on Yelp.

Wow, that was some information. I've always been weary about online reviews (my sister told me today that they are probably all written by relatives ) but this website makes you think. http://yelp-sucks.com/
