From the Yelp Workshop

Here at Yelp, we have a lot going on behind the scenes and this week we unveiled some updates to Yelp.com that we wanted to make sure you were aware of. While they may not all mess with your sense of reality, they should prove both rad and useful when you're navigating throughout the site.

The first one is a follow-on to the Related Searches function we released last week. On business pages, we'll show search keywords people used to find the business that you're viewing. Perfect for discovering the specialties of a given business (like BYOB...)

Additionally, we have now made the complimenting experience even easier. You can now respond to all the hoards of compliments you get in-line. Now you don't have to miss a beat when you're thanking a fellow Yelper for their witty words!

Finally, we've also launched Photo Voting for logged in users. Meaning you can vote on which photos you find the most helpful when researching a local business. If you're the photographer, you can also see which of your snaps got the most love!

So get in there and let us know what you think either via Talk or directly to feedback@yelp.com. We'll also continue to keep you updated on all the tricks and treats the team consistently brings to Yelp products across the board.
