Yelp is Sued After Dispute Over a Review | NY Times
How much do you trust the reviews posted online? Well its appears that Yelp is being sued after a dispute over a review. HAHAHA! I do know one thing… a client who hired me about two years ago (the Mother of the Bride actually the one who hired me) did post a review of me at Yelp last year and in a few days or weeks later, it was taken off. I didnt know of this until the Mother of the Bride informed me. The review is still in her account. Just no one can see it. Later I found out that Yelp felt the review was not accurate. LOL!!!! Whatever!!!! As long as the client and the Mother of the Bride are happy, it is all that matters. But still, reviews like this can hurt small businesses.

P.S. I made a very tasty pot of Chilli last night. YUMMY!
Yelp is more of a ‘social’ site. You become “elite” by having the most reviews. People review about anything like the trash can on their street corner!
yelp may hurt small businesses, but i think it’s really the businesses that are hurting themselves and customers are just being honest. the small businesses should really pick up their game by giving really good customer services and serving great products/food so people can go back for more. i’d like to know how the customer service and food/products are before going to the business. i don’t want to find out the hard way when i can waste my time at a better business.
