Yelp Tagger

Yelp Tagger

Yelp Tagger is a Chrome extension that modifies Yelp business pages to allow users to tag reviews with content-oriented labels, such as "Food," "Service," or "Atmosphere," and then allow them to sort reviews by these new labels.

This class project was inspired by Cory Doctorow's observation that metrics influence results -- in other words, a rating system with metrics like "funny" rewards reviewers that write humorous reviews, not necessarily reviews relevant to the experience at the business. After all, do you want to know if a review is "cool," or if it discusses the quality of a restaurant's food?

This was created mostly as a proof-of-concept, and also has a simple system for suggesting tags when reviews are being written as well, so reviewers need not manually label their reviews.
