4/9 Do they motd foodies have a SF/Berkeley/South Bay Food Guide?
Like... where to get a great grilled cheese sandwich, Dim Sum, or
where to take a stuck up date?
\_ yelp, jatbar
\_ Jatbar's ratings are insane.
\_ Jatbar's ratings are insane, yelp's are inane.
\_ yelp prefers large quantities of cheap food over quality,
in general.
\_ yelp is a microcosm of the Internet circa '99: self-selecting,
trying to be cool/hip, generally more noise than signal.
\- i get the sense yelp is a combination of younger people
with limited incomes looking for cheap food and drink
as you suggest and sex and the city types who are
interested in "scenes". and there are some READ_ONLY
users who use it for factual data.
\_ yelp totally sucks. in particular, i really hate yelpers. jatbar
is ok, but i'm specifically asking for rec's from those (eg psb)
who post on the motd. --psb #1 fan
\_ You should definitely get food recommendations from "my wife
cooks as well as fancy $30 restaurants" guy.
\- yelp has become a social web site, not a review site.
i think sites which are "space centric" [as in people have
the "yelp home page/space" rather than thread centric
invariably become about the people rather than the topics. |
