Week 8, Thing 19 Web 2.0 Awards List

I looked at the Web 2.0 Awards nominees, saw the 41 categories. I saw that Technorati is the winner in the Blog Guides category. I chose to explore the City Guides and Review category and reviewed www.yelp.com. I checked out Westminster, MD and Rosslyn, VA. I saw where people can put their personal reviews, but did not find it extremely helpful for small cities. Some of the small cities weren't even on the map. This site could be useful to a visitor searching for restaurants, events, hotels, etc. This could be useful in a library setting for getting a general feel for demographics in researching a new library site.
