    I use Yelp almost every month and it's introduced me to a lot of good businesses. Unfortunately…read moreit's really hard to contact them for general items that would improve my experience as a user, so I'm writing this review. Payment options should be added to filter merchants that have surcharges for using credit cards. I really dislike that practice and would like to filter out any businesses that do that before going there, especially as it becomes more common.

    I have seen so many changes over the years. None for the better. I have been on Yelp off and on…read moresince about 2006, this is my most recent account. I have Yelped in a lot of different markets. Some better than others. Some CMs way better than others. I have been elite on this account and others and lost my elite status on a couple of accounts I have since closed. My ultimate takeaway, the community elements are gone. It's fine tuned to promote newbies to elite and dictate what those people should be saying, photographing, businesses to reward and punish. I have never seen one person lose their elite status and get it back. Zero. It doesn't happen. I used to chat a little bit here and there with Jeremy S. I asked him about what he thought about the South Park Yelp episode when that came out. There were all of these wild rumors about what he said or did in response to it. He liked it and said you know you made it when South Park roasts you. It was a fun and wild time, when you could actually have a random chat on this platform with the Yelp CEO. I still review lots of stuff and photograph tons of things. I just do it on Google now to express my opinions and track the journey of life. Why? For me, Yelp's magic existed within the community. Without that, reviewing is just a tiring chore. A lot of awesome people have given up on Yelp over the years and I really understand that. It's impersonal now and staged. It feels forced and cheesy. These days, Yelp is about selling yourself and your worth to Yelp and to your CM and kissing ass. So, it's not really that great anymore IMO. I miss UYE, etc. All people were included. It didn't matter who you were or what value your CM thought you had. You could just show up and shoot the shit with other active Yelpers. It was literally that simple. Forrest Gump was wrong, life isn't like a box of chocolates. Life is one big popularity contest. Some people are popular, and then there's the rest of us. Yelp with no community feels really draining and that's my two cents. Or maybe rounded up to five since we are eliminating pennies.

    Vapid, socialite slick consumerist fodder…read more Content is Not for the typical Yelper. I canceled my subscription 2 months ago, but they're still sending it to me. Like I'm going to buy a $1million SOMA condo or a $50,000 diamond for my wife. Yeah right!

    I'll never forget my first San Francisco magazine. I had just moved to the Bay Area, only to be…read moreheaded on a trip to New Zealand, and I was browsing the airport bookstore for reading materials when I saw it: the extra-large mag with a pic of Gavin Newsom on the front. I was glued to the pages the whole flight and subscribed the second I got back. Those were the heady days of my budding love affair with San Francisco, when the city could do no wrong and waves of discovery were washing over me at an almost unbearable rate. So the magazine was quite helpful for marinating my brain in the local flavor and gaining some semblance of orientation. But now, I've got a lot more personal experience with SF (and, let's face it, I've got Yelp), and the magazine isn't quite the eye-opener it once was. More importantly, though, the city (and, let's face it, Yelp's uber-populist medium/message) has turned me into something of an anti-consumerist eco-hippie, and the dream of high-society hobnobbing and owning that killer loft has palled considerably since I realized I was just being subjected to the incredibly paradoxical mass-marketing of luxury "lifestyles". Unfortunately, though, there are still a lot of Boomers (ok, and some young folks) in this city who subscribe to that dream, and SF Magazine is catering to them more than ever these days. So aside from the excellent "Reporter's Notebook" articles, there really isn't much to interest me anymore, and I find myself on the lookout for a Bay Area lifestyle magazine that caters to my *actual* lifestyle. Sorry SF Mag--to quote one of your ads, you may have overlooked nothing, but I don't actually want to overlook everything.

    After a four year yoga retreat Live 105 is back. One star for NoName and one for Aaron Axelsen…read more On my Jetta I've got 18 FM presets and so 105.3 got one years and years ago when I got my car. Engine runs so smooth. Even when it turned into this Bollywood station I would still listen to it from time to time. I got a kick out of the advertisements - always the same ones - I remember this realtor speaking highly of herself - shameless promotion in her heavy accent while speaking English. So one day I'm minding my own business shuffling through all the stations frantically and I recognize NoNames voice. I couldn't believe it. No more Bollywood for me. Turns out they were on a yoga retreat. He said so himself. Right when the station returned they had the 1800 number to call in with your opinions during every ad session. Listening to it again was almost like getting in a time machine and going back ten years. I even felt ten years younger again in an instant. Who knew? Potions and lotions and botox had nothing on listening to this station. They recycled the same 15 songs and played them on a loop just like they always had. It was so familiar - very soothing. At the same time it was very very terrible - not like a train derailment - but maybe like a child scribbling some ugly piece of art. Bad but in a good way. One star for NoName. Love the guy. I remember when I met him. He looks just as you would imagine him to look from knowing his voice only. I got some concert tickets from him for knowing some band trivia questions on air. One star for Aaron Axelsen. Sound check is probably one of the only good reasons to listen. Sunday evenings from 8 - 10. New stuff. Interesting stuff. Local stuff. Its not better than Barbara Streissand but its different. All these years had passed. My Jetta now officially slowly slipped into heapdoom status. Saggy headliner, engine light, a knock here and there in the suspension and a big dent on the drivers door from when I had to take Mr Moose to the emergency room and time was of the essence. Engine still runs so smooth but the interior stinks. I'm not sure if Mr Moose did something in there or maybe the a/c evaporator core drain is clogged. It stinks and I don't think I'm going to fix it for it to pass its next smog check. I'm either going to spritz some freshner in it and dump it on CL or donate it to my favorite Cantonese radio station in San Jose. They gave me a shen yun calendar last time. I enjoyed that all year. Nothing can be depended on anymore in life except for Coupe Deville's and that 1053 button in my Jetta.

    I was listening to this station when I was in high school (1987-1991). It was playing in our rental…read morecar. Gone are the days of The Ramones, Siouxie and the Banshees, The Smiths, Oingo Boingo, The The, INXS, The Divinals, UB40, Book Of Love, The Smashing Pumpkins, and so many more artists to mention. Steve Masters was the DJ, my favorite, nowadays he reviews Video Games or something related. There was a morning show. It was classified as "New Wave" but then it changed to "Modern Rock." I still have the logo keychain and I remember the bumper stickers that I slapped on my Toyota rubber bumper. I heard 1990s alternative and today's alternative music. There was no edge to it. It's disappointing.
