Interesting Places

With the Yelp issue, I thought it would be a good idea to explain the places tab a bit. The “places” tab (see Bend, Oregon’s places for an example) is meant to represent interesting places to check out in the city, be it tourist attractions, local restaurants, businesses and anything else. The primary services, besides Yelp that are used for this tab include Platial, 43 Places, 1000 Things To-Do (where available), and Yahoo Travel (though many of their feeds appear to be sick).

If you know of other great services, drop me a line at rwilliamz@gmail.com.
