Which of my friends are on Yelp?
Geolocation services like FourSquare, Gowalla and Whrrl allow us to cross reference to find friends cross platform. But as far as I know Yelp doesn’t do this.
The last time I tweeted something about Yelp, I got a few friends to reach out to connect to me there. I like that. Most of my current Yelp friends are Yelpers with very little other social media activity. This does not make them lesser people but it does mean I haven’t gotten to know them well.

My recent find – Sushi on La Cienega opened about 2 months ago. They don’t have a liquor license yet but I highly recommend them.
Update: Yelp now cross references to Facebook. Gowalla and Whrrl are no longer but Instagram became another site that benefitted from letting you find friends from other platforms. Today, Tumblr is still missing this connectivity making it difficult to build a new network there.
