What is www.Yelp.com ? I just signed up for it tonight and already have my own www.GoldenResults.yelp.com address. You get to be a movie critic. Or more like you get to be an anything and anywhere critic. It makes me think of the cool Toby Keith song at first about critics, but I want to share that I wrote three FIVE Star reviews for the local Panera and two Starbucks but the next place deserved a zero and got a one star. I think you vote with your feet or in this case, with my Jeep wheels which will gladly avoid one particular Pet Store in Prince Frederick and take the trip to Annapolis instead. It's cool because you can rate a place, add information, and give kudos where well deserved. Or boots in other cases.
I also liked that this links to Facebook and Twitter. So your friends and family and clients all know the places you like best so they can give them a try. As a local Realtor, sometimes my job is kind of like the Yellow Pages. It's valuable to newcomers to have referrals on great places to visit and people to hire. Check out my new site at www.GoldenResults.yelp.com .
And if you need any pet supplies, Annapolis is my suggestion. Can you imagine telling a customer they are unwelcome to return...geez.

Hi Cheryl, I see Yelp results all the time, but did not realize you could sign up for it. Thanks.
I use yelp whenever I am looking at restaurants here in Manhattan. You really see how people feel about a business, typically over a long period of time so you can see if the business has improved, stayed the same or gotten worse as time goes by.
This is day one but it passes the cool test with me!
Hi Cheryl. Yelp is also cool when instead (or in addition) toramon a client writing a testimonial, they can go to Yelp and sing your praises there. Then it shows up in a Google search.
YELP is great. I use it when I travel and to find new local buinessess and services. I posted a fair comment about a professional I have used in my city and she was not pleased but I was honest. It was an opinion and really was not negative. SO watch your comments. ;0
