Yelp is not doing anything revolutionary. Before Yelp there was city search. Yelp came along and improved on what city search had done. Who is to say a better Yelp won't come along. I think they will regret walking away from this deal in the near future. For a very recent example look at Friendster. Although I hope I'm wrong.
- brown9-2 17y agoNot to quibble but is what happened to Friendster really very recent? Feels like ages ago.

- stcredzero 17y ago(Than) Lots of people are still quite invested in Friendster. Facebook somehow used the college connection to one-up them in "cool." Then they expanded beyond college/high school. Lesson: don't trust social networking websites.
- callmeed 17y agoI think you're on to something. Don't forget–Google Maps already shows local reviews and details gathered from Citysearch, Urbanspoon, Insider pages, Angie's List, etc. In large cities it seems to have a decent amount of reviews/content. Google might already have a better yelp (or a just as good yelp).
