Post by: jake20vt on February 24, 2014, 04:37:38 pm: I use yelp a lot when I'm looking at reviews for restaurants. It's really helpful, and there are usually a lot of reviews on popular restaurants. It's a really good tool to use if you're considering a place you've never been to.

Post by: davidh121 on February 25, 2014, 11:29:53 pm: I use this to get a general idea about the variety of food, ambiance, appropriate settings for what I want to achieve... I have mixed feelings about the reviews as often times they're very varied, but I do put a bit of emphasis on certain participating members as I generally agree to their opinion and taste observation.

Post by: texasmom32 on February 26, 2014, 08:52:15 am: I use Yelp to check out any businesses we're considering using. Such as, Automotive, Restaurant, and especially Hotels! Yelp was a life saver on our recent move from WA State to Texas. It was nice to be able to look up reviews on hotels and find out where the bad ones were and stick with the good ones!

I have never heard of Yelp until reading this forum thread....off to do a Fusion Cash toolbar search to learn more! Thanks for the information on it already from other posting on this thread. :thumbsup:

Post by: ShadowWolf16 on March 03, 2014, 06:44:38 pm: I use Yelp to look at reviews for restaurants and different businesses or to get an idea of what restaurant to eat at. Sometimes, I will leave a review of my own.

Post by: aflyingmonkey on March 03, 2014, 09:00:46 pm: Yelp is a business that sells membership to the business to have their negative reviews removed.
Businesses can be destroyed by reviews that are nothing more then people out to destroy their competition, or people they don't like. There is no regulation or proof needed to leave a review on a business. Conversely, positive reviews can be left by anyone, including one person with multiple accounts, leaving false positives.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet.
