Wow, I knew there was some people viewed Yelp negatively, but judging from the comments here, Yelp has a credibility problem more serious than I realize.
The thing that I've found Yelp most useful for nowadways is little tidbits of useful information like store hours and the key combinations to Starbuck's restrooms (I hate having to ask to go the restroom like a 4 year old).
For better and for worse, we are not representative of the population at large. My wife... has never heard of Yelp, so I suppose that's not the most positive sign for them either... but she certainly doesn't hate them.
