“A new breed of IYPs are popping up. Some of these, such as getVEQ.com, are focused on providing consumers with top-rated local businesses based on reviews submitted by other consumers.

Others include yelp.com and ourfaves.com. On these new sites you can connect with friends and other people in your neighborhood to share reviews and feedback on local businesses. ”
