Yelp Sucks! But I need them!
The problem is that they can be gamed so easily. I have a feed of their reviews which I monitor in google reader and create my own feeds from, but after looking at it day after day you can easily see patterns of "paid" reviewers gaming the system.
I mean, how many people do you know eat at five different places in one day and rank 4 of them one star and only one is good?
I'm not sure whether I should hire these people or expose them, I'd really like to take yelp down because it's pretty common knowledge they have a different filter algo for paid advertisers vs. free listings...it's just frustrating as hell working with their reviews, knowing they can be bought and sold so easily.
