I have been experimenting with Yelp’s User Rating and Review product over the course of the past few weeks.

Here is an url to my reviews. Julio WorksJulio Miyares Yelp Reviews.

Strangely familiar to what AOL Digital Cities had many years ago in a product known as Local Experts. I am talking the 2000-2002 timeframe which in the Web world is a long time ago.

In a familiar refrain, we had no followup and allowed the product feature to die on the vine. Social networking in the local space?? User contributed content?? What is that?
