You can add to this the fact that Google is also in the mix. e.g. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=bars+in+san+francisco&fb=1&view=text&sa=X&o

Personally I like Yelp better, but I've only really been looking in SF (which is their strongest card).
- raghus 18y agoGoogle seems to link to TripAdvisor reviews in most cases
- jwilliams 18y agoI tend to get a whole assortment - might be very location/type dependent.
- jacobscott 18y agoI find Yelp's UI to be much more friendly. Also, their free iPhone app is awesome -- coffee near me is the secret sauce. I use Yelp heavily around Stanford. It's pretty clear to me that Yelp-like sites are the future of (this type of) food review online, especially since Zagat is charging. Playing off the network effect for a user generated content site seems key, and charging a subscription certainly doesn't help with that. Traffic stats and restaurant coverage mentioned in the article bear this out.
