We "Yelp" for Reviews

Online reviews of products and services are becoming more and more common. If you have ever shopping online, you have probably read a review. Amazon.com is one of the leaders in online reviews, but Yelp is now one of the most popular websites specifically for reviews. Yelp offers reviews on restaurants, shopping, night life, hotel, spas and beauty...anything your area that you want to know about.

I personally love online reviews. I used them when buying all my furniture online and I use it to find local restaurants. I believe it holds producers to a higher standard; if people don't like a product or service they can write about it online for everyone to see. From a business owners perspective, one bad review can make or break a company.

So online reviews; good for buyers, bad for sellers?
