NEWS: Yelp Provides More Transparency around Review Filter to Eliminate Confusion; Discontinues "Favorite Review"

  FORMAT:  B-roll and Soundbites

  STORY SUMMARY:

Yelp (http://www.yelp.com/), the community-led local search site, today outlined steps it is taking to increase transparency across the site to minimize confusion around how user reviews are presented to consumers. Beginning today, anyone who wants to see which reviews have been identified by Yelp's automated review filter will be able to do so via a link to a separate page containing that content. The company has also eliminated the "Favorite Review" feature that has been a part of its advertising product for the past four years.

  SOUNDBITES:
  Jeremy Stoppelman, co-founder and CEO, Yelp.com
  Dr. Vail Reese, MD, Union Square Dermatology, Yelp advertiser
  Joe Alexander, Owner, Keetsa Mattress, Yelp advertiser
