Or anyone else's.
Really how long until they get a major buy out?
What do you think of their business model, mixing yellow pages with web 2.0 user generated content and then asking business owners if they want to advertise after they have been "yelped".

From what I can tell it looks like it came from some of the people that left paypal when ebay bought them out, and then a few large tech investors. They also seem to be growing traffic wise quit a bit and the number of users/reviewers seems huge. Oddly though I see no checks an balances for business sabotage's either though.

Well anyways, whats everyone's thoughts?
