#19 Yelp
Looking over the Web 2.0 list I settled on Yelp, one of the sites that is a city guide. Very nice tool. Takes you to a lot of big cities and lists their finer points (good hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, etc.), and contains reviews from visitors who have been to the various sights listed. I went to Baltimore's Yelp to see if it mentioned one of my favorite places of all time, Louie's, a combination bookstore and restaurant. Sure enough, it was there. But it has closed! Yikes! Yelp! I had no idea! At any rate, Yelp has a lot going for it. Would be a useful site to direct new library customers to, ones who are just getting acquainted with our area. I would like to see Yelp expand and become an international Yelp for people like me who like to travel outside the country.
