"I am giving this place 1 star because the server looks like my ex-boyfriend who cheated on me". Hardest I've laughed in about a week. +1 I guess the problem

I guess the problem is that objective information is hard to standardize in a reviewing system. Plus, I've actually been wondering whether humans would view objective statistics with more faith than human reviews - no matter how ridiculous they are.
- rdl 14y agoI only really care about restaurant reviews, and on Yelp, the only way I've found it to work is to find a single reviewer who is methodical (and basically inhuman) to follow, then rely on that person's reviews. (http://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=kSfj8tii1tw8bH1OYmb-wg http://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=kSfj8tii1tw8bH1OYmb-... is the finest reviewer ever in the Mountain View/mid-Peninsula level. 75% of all value I get out of Yelp comes from that person; the remaining 25% is knowing about hours, address, and phone number better than crappy restaurant websites.)
- mahyarm 14y agoAlmost sounds like you want something like zagat.
- rdl 14y agoZagat or Michelin with 1000x more reviewers, which is the promise of a site like Yelp or Foursquare. If a business has been around for a few years, I already probably know about it. What I want is great reviews of new businesses, or rapid re-reviews if something changes, which Zagat and Michelin are poor for.
