Yelp

What started off as a tool to find and read reviews of local services, yelp seems to have found new life in its location aware applications, what with 4sq getting all the press lately Yelp and and Facebook are now getting in a the twitter action of checking in with a location aware app. I've had a love/hate relationship with 4sq, it left a little to be desired, like 100% up time. Or correct addresses and other information and of course the hundreds of duplicates, stupid names and other incorrect of false information with check ins.
Recently on a day off, a day off that a couple other friends just happened to have off we found ourselves at Nicholson's talking big news.



The big news of course, was one of Cincinnati's twitter communities most poorly kept secrets, our (and by our I mean every single person in Cincinnati) good friend Alex becoming Cincinnati's first community manager. Cincinnati will have Yelp's full attention with Alex at the controls. It seems every new location will need to pass the sniff test to determine if it is indeed a real place, no more check ins at the "tweetdeck at Parker Flats" with yelp. I started using Yelp with twitter for check ins and location services, but after looking around there's already a whole community there writing reviews using Yelp the way it was intended, me, I'll have to see, right now I'm content to use it for checking in.
