The Yelp Blog Has Landed!

So at long last, we've decided to start up the Yelp Blog (brief pause until applause dies down). We're actually looking for some suggestions for cutesy names - As the Yelp Turns, Yelp This!, Yelp For The People, Yelp Happens, yeah so you can see we need some help - if you have any ideas, shoot me an email.

Anyhow, this is going to be our way to get a little bit more personal with all of you. There's Yelp News, which will cover anything new and fantastic about the site, like Map-tastic or if we've broken some world speed record for most reviews posted or something like that.

Office Life will cover such mundane topics as how many times Darwin (the company dog) has decided to urinate within office quarters, where some of us like to eat out around the neighborhood, debates on whether Bob Goodson should continue to use his "British" accent or if that shtick is getting old, where resident hunk Russ Simmons is going out on a given night, etc.

Sound Off - this is like a rant and rave area, like if Newsom should get a new haircut, whether we really need Bloomingdale's, or our humble opinions on what is the best sushi/burrito/vodka gimlet in town.

Yelp Tales - here you'll see the occasional post about our misadventures in and around town - sordid tales of illicit massage parlor visits you might not find here, but stories about our nights out you will see, sort of like our own Tales of the City. Put another way, if you've ever wanted to know the origins of Michael "Manhole" Ernst, this is the place to look.

We'll be fine-tuning the blog, just like we do on Yelp live, so definitely send us your feedback.

Until then, true believers, EAYNY!

Nish!
