It was nearly a year ago when I was first introduced to this interesting little site. I don’t remember how or who introduced me but since then, Yelp has been on my top 10 favorite sites. Yelp is like my secret weapon. Where to eat? well just plug in a city, genre, and boom! You get recommendations from your 10,000 closest friends. Not only does Yelp recommend restaurants but also salons, massage parlors, and even dentists! (If you couldn’t tell by now, I’m big on community generated sites) In its most simplified form, Yelp is a community oriented network of people like you and myself who love to brag about the next best thing. Ever go to a new restaurant and not know what to order? Now you can look up what others have had and know what dishes to stay away from. Members have the ability to post pictures of food, personal lists of places to eat, and even community events. Yelp caters to neighborhood oriented recommendations.

You don’t need to be a member to reap the benefits. Personally, I was stalking Yelp for half a year before I took the plunge of joining. I must say, the people there are genuinely nice. And not in a creepy lets meet up and let me show you my blog, but in a warm and supportive way.

Yelp has introduced me to a variety of new restaurant that has tickled my pallet. From neighborhood hole in the walls to bousie Japanese french fusion restaurants. I’m especially thankful for Yelp’s recommendations of desert joints. Yelp is definitely one of the many dotcoms to keep an eye on.

If you’re on Yelp, be sure to say hi Yelp Me
