Yelp Is Exploring a Sale

I've always wanted a "friend circle" yelp where It showed you recommendations from friends of friends/people you know so you could temper the rating with what you know about the person reviewing.

Foursquare does this. Explicitly shows you your 4sq/Swarm friends' relationships to the place (have they been there? saved it to a list? said they 'like it' or 'dislike it'?), and then in the list of tips/reviews surfaces the stuff your friends have left before others.

When searching, you can even filter for "only show me places my friends have been".

I believe Google+ actually does this.
