Philadelphia Will Do  
 

You Sunk My Social Networking Battleship

Step 1: Post about Yelp. Step 2: Realize that Philadelphia Will Do covert operative Chrissmari will most certainly post about it on Yelp. Step 3: Profit.

Someone on the PW blog called Yelpers out and, suddenly, there are arguments going on. In my time on Yelp, I haven’t seen any Philly Yelpers fight. I’m sorry to see that something as minor as a blog entry has caused tension.

Some guy also sent this to me as an email:

I speak for most Yelp Elite member when I say that we were all writing countless reviews (good and bad) well before we were invited to an Elite party that had free food and drinks. We care a lot about any reputation we’ve built. We don’t do it for money or free drinks. [...] I suppose you did your job and got a few more page views for your blog and got people talking. Maybe next time it’ll be for something a little more insightful.

Another user on the board wrote: “Meh, I’m not allowed to be an Elite Yelper since I am under 18, but I didn’t let this blog phase me.” Exactly. Out of the mouths of babes.

If smoking and Elite Yelping are both restricted until you’re 18, does that mean they both do the same amount of damage to your health?

    I don’t want to get flamed, but I did notice most of the yelpers were women. Do you think the men were just enjoying thier Dos Equs?

    They do it for the good of humanity, not for the free drinks. Sheesh, dmac, don’t you care about humanity?

    I had never heard of yelp until D-mac wrote about it here.

  5. friendlynerd Says: Jul 3 10:52 AM

    Me either. But I sure am impressed by those ELITE members. Maybe I could be one someday! On second thought, I’ll put effort into something that matters.

  6. dmac Says: Jul 3 11:13 AM

    Eh, they do get free food and drink sometimes, and I have to imagine it’s usually pretty good (better than Mexican Post, at least). That’s not a bad tradeoff for writing some reviews.

  7. chrissmari Says: Jul 3 11:16 AM

    yeah it’s not a bad tradeoff at all. if you dont take it super seriously there’s not a huge amount of effort involved anyway. but then again I’m Elite at everything I do

    dmac - you’re a tool.

  9. jrd Says: Jul 3 12:05 PM

    haha sorry dmac, that was directed at chrissmari, i read the posting history wrong, my bad. chrissmari - you’re a tool.

  10. Dark Horse John Says: Jul 3 12:20 PM

    Clearly, D-Mac, you are not insightful enough to build up a reputation for writing restaurant reviews on the internet. For shame, sir. FOR FUCKING WELL SHAME.

    You will, I assume, be committing suicide shortly.

  11. Urbanus Says: Jul 3 12:21 PM

    No, you had it right.

    Dmac - you’re a tool.

    I wonder what is so wrong and horrible in Chrissmari’s life that she gets so excited and happy over internet drama. Not too many people on yelp really like her, she’s not interesting or much fun and obviously has nothing better to do on her holiday weekend than try and slag a bunch of people who just want to have fun. Can people be banned from yelp events? If so, can we ban chrissmari from further events? Thank you.

    Cunt fight! Who’s got the jell-o?

  15. The Real Deal With Bill mcNeil Says: Jul 3 7:00 PM

    Ins’t pretty much anyone who describes themself as a jetset chic a worthless drone of a bitch without the right to speak in public or criticize others?

    Jello says “We’re hopping the jet set tonight.”

  16. njf Says: Jul 3 7:24 PM

    I don’t know, does someone who can’t even get their own name right have the right to speak in public or criticize others? (The Real Dead or Real Deal? McNeil or mcNeil? Ins’t?)

  17. A. Minor Says: Jul 4 11:08 AM

    Someone take the internets away from chrissmari. Newsflash: no one’s interested in your banal whinings sprinkled with bad british slang. It’s cringe-inducing and makes me almost feel sorry for you and your empty life.
