Definitely our biggest competitors. We're trying to create a more credible and helpful review site. I liken us to the Rotten Tomatoes for food/entertainment reviews. We encourage quality over quantity with reviews. If you're an IMDB fan instead, then you may choose to stick with Yelp and others.
We break reviews out per service, which I've yet to see anyone else do. And I do indeed think quality is a major concern with sites like Yelp. Their shady filter and questionable business practices have been brought up many time before. Reviewers are held to no accountability, so you'll often see ridiculous 1-star reviews in Yelp.
Basically, we want to form a unique review site, one that knows intimate details on a business and one that provides extremely helpful reviews.
