Yelp!

Since moving to San Francisco - which is a HUGE internet oriented city - I've fallen deeply in love with Yelp! It's an online reviews and ratings website for a bunch of major US cities. I've been using them alot to find cool new places to check out, especially restaurants and clubs. I even used them to find the hotel Allister and I stayed at in West Hollywood. Like every ratings website, you have to read the reviews with a grain of salt. I usually check out the reviewers too to see if they have balanced overall ratings for the things they talk about. I don't put credit in people who ONLY say bad things all the time or ONLY say good things all the time. Generally, I trust the ratings if there are more than 50 or so reviews. Now, you can see the places that I've decided to review by looking at the little Yelp map on the right hand side of my blog! I don't have too many yet, but I'm excited that Yelp also covers Atlanta! I'm glad to know that I won't loose this valuable resource when I leave the Bay Area in 12 days (*tear*). Enjoy!
