The site, in 2009
A site of crowd-sourced reviews and ratings for local businesses such as restaurants and shops.
It began when co-founder Jeremy Stoppelman caught flu and could not find an online recommendation for a doctor. By the end of 2024, about 308 million reviews had been contributed.
In 2009: Talks to be bought by Google came to nothing. It also began expanding across Europe and Asia.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
