Yelp app is even better on Android, IMBO (In My Biased Opinion) ;) .

I also played with PicPlz in Seattle during SMX Advanced which immediately upon taking a picture uploads to FourSqaure & Facebook with your location coordinates by tying it to the nearby business/landmark…only available on Android at this time.

Wish I was there at SMX. Geolocation and local search are two of my favorite topics. I am surprised at how few of my friends on Twitter and Facebook are on Yelp and vice-versa. Unfortunately Yelp lacks a function that lets you "find" your Twitter/Facebook friends that is provided on geolocation sites I use. I find Yelp useful for information and I've done some reviews but I've only checked in on Yelp a few times because I don't feel I know my friends there nearly as well as my friends on FourSquare, Gowalla and Whrrl - I purposely only connect to people I feel I Know on those geolocation sites. Yelp profiles are very superficial and few people use their full names. Yelp on the iPhone is a killer app. I think I have sold at least five iPhones by demonstrating the Yelp app to awestruck non-techies who have never been on a geolocation site. http://itsdifferent4girls.com/my-links/ Thank you for this post Susan.
