Recent and Upcoming Changes to Yelp

Yelp is changing their website, they no longer have a review filter!!! Okay, before I get hate mail about false headlines, they are no longer calling it a review filter. It is now the “Recommendation Software“. And honestly, this new “Recommendation Software” is as much of a let down as my header. But before this […]
