I’m glad to be back home in Sydney, but Yelp is one of the few things that I still miss from living in the States. The restaurant tips site morphed into a feature-packed, heavily trafficked business review app for phones — and seriously craps on anything we’ve got here: I’m looking at you Google Places and TrueLocal.

I pick it up, carry it over to my recycling bin and drop it in – plastic and all – because it’s an heirloom of a previous age.
