Yelp Lets Businesses Fight Back
2008-04-29 06:00:00 Local businesses have a love/hate relationship with review site Yelp: The site sends new customer leads to the businesses reviewed. But businesses can also be reviewed (and trashed) without even knowing Yelp exists. Businesses like Oakland coffee shop Cafe Rooz felt slighted by the ratings site when a few vocal customers posted poor reviews. They went ...

FACEBOOK MINI-FEEDS GET HUNGRIER: YELP, PICASA, FLICKR, DELICIOUS
2008-04-15 23:14:00 Importing my Flickr feed into Facebook(Credit: Facebook) Facebook members now have the options to import their activity from a number of external social-media sites into the "Mini-Feeds" on their profiles, a post on the company blog explained on Tuesday. Currently, this is limited to business reviews site Yelp, bookmarking site Delicious (owned by Yahoo), and photo-sharing sites Flickr (also owned by Yahoo) and Picasa (owned by Google). More are on the way, including Digg, the post by engineer Harry Huai Wang assured members. With aggregation the hottest topic in social networking these days, plenty of sites from Pownce to Plaxo have opted to let members pull in feeds from external sites, and an entire genre of "lifestreaming" services like FriendFeed and SocialThing have sprung up for those social-media junkies who want to be able to track everything their friends do in one place. But it's a bit curious on Facebook: most popular social-media sites already have applications bui...

Yelp!
2008-01-14 18:13:00 Here is what some Yelp'ers had to say about our Friday Showcase this weekend:Dana, Chicago, IL:Positives: BYOB; the third improv group (especially the woman with the short dark hair!)I thought that the third group was really funny! The ice-fishing, the smoking ban, and the closeted lesbian bits were hilarious. I would have enjoyed to see them perform for the entire show.I liked the set-up of the theater, which is small and intimate -- without making you feel that you are on top of the performers.-----(just so the world knows this women is talking about Cornwallis and Lina)----Carrie M, Chicago, ILChemically Imbalanced Comedy is definitely comedy off kilter. The Friday Night comedy showcase was a fun barrel of laughs where I'll never think of Johnsonville bratwursts and my fingers the same way again. The showcase displays the talents of three comedy improv talents for $10 (our tickets were comp'ed thanks to Angela M. a Yelper and Director of Chemically Imbalanced Comedy). It's a ...
The Future of Aging Services and Yelp
2007-12-11 21:40:00 Do you yelp? Yelp is one of a growing number of websites where real people (customers) give real feedback on the real service (or lack thereof) they receive. If they love the service they get, they rave. If the service stinks, they let you know that, too. If the reviews are good, it’s the best possible, most authentic, least expensive advertising. Here’s ...

How Web 2.0 Has Saved Many Companies From Bankruptcy.
2007-07-30 08:00:00 When I think of Web 2.0, I think of content that is completely generated by a given site’s users, not the owners. Not a big fan of it since I think it’s never a good idea to give a complete control to one side as complete control is always gives birth to an ugly child called “abuse ...
Yelp! Changing the Face of Customer Reviews Forever
2007-07-23 17:00:00 Anyone who knows me well knows that I am a big fan of yelp!, a fantastically cool web 2.0riffic social networking meets Zagat reviews site started San Francisco (where else) by two smart young whippersnappers fresh out of post-ebay sale PayPal. The basic premise of the site is to allow anyone capable of spending money and using a computer to write reviews about their experiences dining, staying, shopping in a yelp! city. San Francisco being their first, and hottest market is a thriving city, but they are quickly expanding throughout the United States (hoping to expand 25 new markets in 18 months). I am a member of the “yelp! Elite Squad,” which basically means that I get to go to places to mingle with other Elite yelpers, get free stuff and review based on my experiences. It’s really a lot of fun and I’m rather obsessed with it - check out my yelp! page. Today I found a nice big article about yelp! on CNNmoney.com. I think it’s fantastic to see that thi...
Google Maps + Reviews = Yelp.com Killer
2007-06-25 09:33:00 Google Maps continues to unveil features that position it as an indispensable source for all things on maps. Google Latlong is the corporate blog source that describes two new Map features: Register your local business into Google's Local Business CenterAdd reviews to businesses (restaurants, auto mechanics, etc.) on Google Maps The reviews are Google's critical component to dominating this space, most prominently held by Yelp. Almost all of the Google reviews for my neighborhood restaurants list Yelp reviews, along with other review sites like Citysearch and Gayot. Clicking on these review results direct me to Yelp or the original site.So... I don't have to bookmark Yelp any more to find a restaurant, my Google Maps page will find one, and one click will get me a Yelp review. This is profound. Google Map's positioning strategy is to be the first stop for any search item that requires a map. And maps are critical to the real estate search process. Here are a few sample implica...
Yelp
2007-06-23 00:00:00 I discovered a very cool website, yelp.com. It is a user driven service review site (ie. restaurants, shopping, clubs) I see it as web 2.0 at its greatest everyone has a voice, and hopefully vendors of these services will start to realize and strive for excellent customer service. Below is my Yelp Badge I only entered a few reviews so far.

burrp! India's answer to Yelp
2007-02-25 23:52:02 burrp.com is born out of a simple motivation and is driven to succeed. Read further to learn more about it from none other than Burrp's own Deap Ubhi. 1. What exactly is Burrp.com and by the way what does "Burrp" mean? Was it supposed to be "Burp"? Very simply, burrp! is an online user-generated local review and recommendation tool focused on recreational activities and events. Your assumption was absolutely correct: burrp is just an extended form of burp. 2. What motivated you to start Burrp when there already are quite a few recommendation/review sites?
