Businesses aren't exactly lining up to advertise with yelp, yet they take no care in ensuring that the few sponsors they have left are treated with respect. Yelp has been caught in an uncontrollable downward spiral for some time now, and I predict a final face plant any day now. Do we need any more proof that yelp is run by a bunch of idiots?

What's more compelling is the amount of churn their sales has been going through in 2009. Yelp has hired about 100 sales people in the last 9 months.
