Yelp

I had never heard of Yelp prior to this assignment, so I am obviously glad that it was assigned. I like the idea of having all restaurant reviews conveniently located on one website. The two places I chose to write a review about were local places from my hometown in New Jersey. There were only 2 reviews and 3 reviews for each respectively before I added my own opinions. For my first review I chose Taste of Reality Deli, which is a local deli on my block and is hugely popular and successful. I rated it 5 stars because it is my favorite place to eat and socialize, not to mention to food is delicious. For my second review I chose to write about Mac's Diner, a stereotypical New Jersey Diner located on the highway that runs parallel to my town. Out of all the diners I have been to (and that's a lot) this one is my favorite, so as a result I gave it 4 stars.

I definitely enjoyed my first Yelp experience. I had never written a restaurant review prior to this so this was something new to me. For some reason writing about my favorite places to eat really appealed to me. However, I found the website to be a little all over the place or disorganized. I didn't really see the point of me adding a profile picture or adding friends since this is a place for restaurant reviews and not socializing. But I like the website and I like its purpose, and I will most likely be writing more reviews in the future.
