Here's Yelp's CEO's response on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeremys/status/793159598651736065 https://twitter.com/jeremys/status/793159598651736065 Quite unprofessional in my opinion. Could have exercised a bit more restraint as a public company CEO. EDIT: Here's a screenshot in case it gets deleted --> http://imgur.com/a/ViqX8 http://imgur.com/a/ViqX8

Wow very unprofessional indeed. Makes me glad I don't use their service very often.

  Knowing their business practices makes me not use it at all.

Look at his profile picture, would you expect any less? This isn't the first time they've done it, and it surely won't be the last. https://searchenginewatch.com/sew/opinion/2364585/court-rules-yelp-may-demand-money-for-adding-and-removing-reviews https://searchenginewatch.com/sew/opinion/2364585/court-rule...

The term bahramdipity comes to mind... bahramdipity - the suppression of a discovery, sometimes a serendipitous discovery, by the often-egomaniacal act of a more powerful individual who does cruelly punish, not merely disdain, a person (or persons) of lesser power and little renown who demonstrates sagacity, perspicacity, and truthfulness. http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/19271/title/-Bahramdipity--and-Scientific-Research/ http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/19271/...

What was the Foursquare CEO exercising when he made unsubstantiated allegations against Yelp?

LOL Stoppelman's response sounds like something you'd hear from Trump - at the very least it's his platform of choice (twitter).

  Exactly. He originally trashed the whistleblower reporter in 2009 instead of addressing the allegations (see my comment in this thread for links)
