Two common complaints I have heard about Yelp are (1) its ratings are not personalized and (2) it took bribes.
Google tried "hotpot," now "places" with personalized recommendations and no pay-to-play scandals but hardly anyone uses it. My recommendations are OK but not great and I suspect the problem is that they don't have enough data to predict well for me.
I hear (from this discussion) that ness does well with personalized recommendations. I have not heard of it before.
Why does everyone use Yelp rather than Google Places or Ness?
