Thing 19: More Web 2.0

I looked under the category "Guides and Reviews" and found Yelp. A lot of my friends use Yelp so I'm always hearing about it, but I've never actually checked it out myself. No time like the present, I guess.

I didn't love it. Maybe it's because I was just browsing, not looking for anything specific. Maybe y'all can help me out with some of the issues I had. I looked at restaurants and at the bottom of the page was a section titled "Related Lists," but I couldn't figure out how to search the lists. I only could see lists that were supplied on specific pages, so I only saw the ones Yelp wanted me to see, rather than being able to find any on my own. The same happened when I looked at vegetarian restaurants and was given a list of vegetarian restaurants and restaurants that were vegetarian with other keywords (specifically wine and romantic), but couldn't search by those keywords. Maybe I'm just not good at this.
