I appreciate that invitation. I wish to honor your guidelines here, and thank you for inviting me to link in future. Invariably, our clients end up getting contacted by Merchant Circle, and I give them 'the lecture' on MCs reputation for sharp and exploitative business practices. They are always shocked, and I am always glad that I was there to steer them clear. I am disappointed to see Yelp being repeatedly accused of taking the low road. They have a powerful database of reviews. They ought to be classy about what they do with it. I wish Mr. McGee luck! Miriam Oh, thank you, Mike. I appreciate that invitation.

By coincidence, Yelp is getting hammered again in the SF Bay Area. Greg reported on this back in August and so did I. Sounds like they are at it again with an aggressive telemarketing program. I've blogged about this today, Mike, if you want to see. Miriam My gosh, Matt’s comments section on that 2006 post is overwhelming!
