What the Yelp?

OK you who know me are going to say what a hypocrite because yes I always refused to pay any attention to Yelp -- much less write anything for it -- criticising my friends who do "for working for free." But I've found when looking for restaurants, not only is it the best place to look, it's the only place, unless you search pretty thoroughly and find something on a blog somewhere. But as far as the first page of google searches, all the other websites that supposedly review restaurants are WORTHLESS. At least with Yelp you can find more up-to-date information and a variety of opinions. Sure, maybe most of them are asinine, but they're often entertaining! And you can quickly figure out who you have similar tastes to and kind of make an assessment about a place easier than with any other website.

And when it comes to restaurants, as everyone knows, I certainly have opinions! And a lot of mine are at least as asinine as the most asinine ones out there. So I'm going to start writing some reviews in my spare time. You know, all my spare time...
