It's adorable when people don't understand how it is redefining commerce, communication, news, and interaction. I think it is just soooo cute when people furrow their brow, and in lack of understanding or cognizance they emotively act out and berate something they haven't begun to fathom.
The lack of a current biz model, however... hmm... work on it. I know it's there, and am excited to see their growth. But wow.... will it become PBS? -

the most relevant news, industry stories, commentary, and *stuff* is going on there. I know you don't get it, logged in once, didn't get it, and haven't been back and still don't get it.
Get it. Professionally and personally it is dynamite. Here... Twitter in Plain English:

And it's the best coffee chain in the world. Coffee is not week like Bucks, not burnt and over-roasted like Peets. The teas are far and away superior to any other consumer-reach teas, and I am stunned this is the only memory I have LA that isn't totally bitter and hate filled.
Their frozen thingies are the best, too... go... try one.

What's Yelp?
I think we are eerily like a cult, as well as a lobby group.
With great power comes great responsibility.
But this is seriously the greatest resource I have ever found for community... I have found so much in my towns!!!!
Anyhoo... sometimes creeps me out. Sometimes people are freaky. The "Elite" thing is baffling to me. Minus one star.
And minus one star for the damn algorithm that allows flagging on EVERYTHING....
Minus two stars for freaky narcissists that think they are important (I know my reviews aren't important... and I know that I, along with many others, don't read one damn review, but rather just look at the stars... I do reread my reviews when I forget tho).
Minus one star for user generated content that sucks bad.
Plus 1/2 star for the good reviews that are out there.
Plus 1/2 star for people like Omid, Keane, and the others (you know who you are)
Then plus three for being the best resource on the web. Ever.

It's location is PERFECT.... for example, if you need to get to the big Gondola to get up the hill, it is literally stumbling distance from the front doors.
Or what if you need to watch a wheel that is flaming and on fire shoot sparks into the stratospehere? Well... if you are out front and there at the right wedding full of Burners... well you will, won't you ---- http://www.youtube.com...
enjoy that. I did.

You could end up here if all the other joints are at full wait, and if you do... frankly I would pass.

I dunno... I was sort of non plussed. It is supposed to be awesome but it tasted as if it was an hour old or so... sort of dry and overcooked. We had to wait a bit.... but it was fine overall. Not worth a wait, I would say.

Dianne's Old & New Estates

Neighborhood: Marina/Cow Hollow
Dianne, and the entire staff, is amazing. I got my wedding band there... they were endless, enthusiastic, friendly help when we selected it. They didn't try to upsell us, in fact they gave us some incredible knowledge and insight into our options.
When I got it, and it was obviously the wrong size, they took it back scuffs and all, resized it, cleaned it, and got it to me within TWO days... at no charge. They gave us some cleaning products, and told us there would be a lifetime guarantee for this ring.
I haven't felt so welcomed, accepted, appreciated as a consumer in a long, long time.
So thank you very much.... if you are browsing, buying, or just being cute on some weekend day.....
check this place out. It is worth a visit, even worth a drive.
and without a doubt, some of the views from this property were the most beautiful I have ever seen. We are talking comprable to French and Italian chateaus.... views that look out on pristine, rolling hills untouched by much more than earth and hard work.
the sunset is incredible... if you are there in winter and can watch it while they are still open do it! If not, head by the Allison because it has wine forever. =)

But it is a legitimate CRM, with real time interaction with consumers/clients/guests/professionals, reputation and brand monitoring, damage control, as well as solid ROI that drives revenue.
Like I said, if you don't get it.... that's fine.
