Yelp!

I picked Yelp from the Web 2.0 awards list, since I am always looking for travel information. I selected two cities that I know fairly well, San Francisco and Chicago, and then started messing around. I spent the most time with San Francisco and generally thought the comments on restaurants were on target. The basic problem for me is that the people posting are all way below my age range, which means that probably for much of the shopping, they are focusing on things that would appeal to a very skinny, very young audience. I would have to spend a lot more time on the site getting used to how it is put together to see how helpful it would be if I didn't know anything about a city.
