One possible solution: there is a issue related with notifications being […]
Interesting development with Yelp — and other sites that allow public review. The “authenticity engine” and the consumer win again! Last week, Congress passed a law that will make it illegal for companies to retaliate against U.S. consumers who post negative reviews online. Yes, soon you’ll be able to give a bad business one star […]
