Yelp and Zagat losing influence?

Fellow Foodies – Yelp and Zagat are both social media outlets but neither are considered for social media influence tracking by klout, Empire Avenue, PeerNet, etc. Is this because we Yelpers are fine within our special community and don’t need to be bothered with those other tools? Or are outlets such as Twitter, FaceBook, and Google+ reducing the value and prominence of Yelp and Zagat.

As an example, I posted a negative review of a restaurant on Yelp and got a response about a week later from the restaurant. I tweeted a negative comment about a bar this weekend and got a response within 24 hours.

What say ye? Would love to hear your thoughts here or follow me on twitter and post your response there.

Wherever this season finds you, I hope the blog offers a little inspiration to make the holidays feel more manageable—and meaningful—in your own way.

Finding Common Ground: Bridging Divides in a Polarized World

Our beliefs and perspectives evolve over time, shaped by our experiences and the changing world around us. This evolution is why open, constructive conversations—especially about divisive topics—are so critical. They allow us to explore our assumptions, challenge our thinking, and grow together, even when we disagree.

Today, I want to explore the concept of the slippery slope—a fear that often emerges in debates about rights and regulations. It’s a concern that touches on issues as varied as gun control, LGBTQ+ rights, and abortion, though people often apply it inconsistently.
