Yelp. Unfortunately, Google beat me to it. If it were mine I would use the Craig Newmark approach and do some good with it.

I would argue there are 4 platforms to consider now.

Database
Milo

Peoplebase
Yelp

NEWER PLATFORMS – - -

Schedulebase
Foursquare

Decisionbase
Blippy

I would want to investigate the long-term potential of Blippy and then FourSquare. I believe to truly find out what people value and believe in you monitor where they spend their time and money.

I don’t think FourSquare is the next Twitter though. It’s fun and as Peter Kim says, is a great example of Social Business Design – I call it Social Enterprise Design – but it’s not yet a utility of any sort.

Blippy is far more transparent than anything I’ve seen to date. It will never become mainstream due to the data being shared but a mashup of the 4 platforms together would be an amazing home run that I would buy.

I love your line of thinking. You got my brain going. Thank you

I have Yelp as an app on my iPhone and browse it when in different areas looking for things. Never actually visited a business due to it’s being listed by Yelp, but handy for browsing and seeing what is nearby

Comments on: Would you rather own Yelp.com or Milo.com?
