Research Ideas Blog

They are many food places around campus to eat with a variety selection of type of food. Burgers, burritos, chinese, indian, and so forth. On this map the food is which chicken tenders place is the best around campus. There many different places such as Raising Canes, Lo Lo's Chicken and Waffles, KFC,  and Buffalo Wings. Each have their own unigue way of making them and the banger that makes people coming back. However since there is so many places to eat, evidently one has to be superior to the others. What makes a person choose one over another would be price, the quality, reviews/ opinions from other people, the location is key, and how the chicken is made; breaded or non-breaded for example. At these different locations there are different types of things you can get at each and some are limited to their specialty. Depending on what your tastebuds tell you what they want, then you will decide which chain you will pick.

Yelp Blog


When it comes to Yelp the main reason for the website is to provide reviews to society on what restaurants and such have the best reviews. The reviews on Yelp can be concluded that most of them are based on people’s opinions, rather than facts. Also many individuals are biased when it comes to the specific theatre or even place to eat. However the website is very helpful for people who are visiting a state or country, not having an idea what good places there are. How people decide which vendor is better depends on the number of stars the vendor has. The more stars means the top, recommended vendor to go too; low number of stars means low quality. At first glances looking at the reviews the ones with the most reviews are primarily at the top of the page and the less stars follow. For example Connor M explains how he thinks about Vista Del Sol: “These apartments are vastly overpriced for their cheap build quality, constantly require maintenance from a management team that doesn't know what they are doing.” He gave the review a one star which is very low. Living at Vista right now being unbiased yes the apartments can be costly, but the amenities and what comes with apartment the price is up to point and the management is awesome.  Most of the people that do the reviews and are negative ones have had bad experiences with the vendor becoming biased about their like for the vendor. However most of the reviews are valid and give great tips, comments. Plus Yelp can also help out with finding directions if needed as well. Say if you come to Phoenix, Arizona looking for a place to eat wings you just look on Yelp and Atl Wings will pop up. Court S stated that Atl Wings was “I'd be shocked if there was a better wing place in AZ. The wings are out of this world. So are the honey biscuits. The prices are good too. Yes, there is a wait for your food. But I have no problem waiting for food prepared only AFTER I've ordered it. The honey habanero are the best. So is the garlic parmesan. You can tell they actually make their own sauces and don't just pour a bottle of who knows what on the wings. This place is worth the money and the wait. Seriously, you won't be disappointed.” That are some ideas Yelp can give viewers or people being curious of what is around.







In WP2 I would use some of the idea Yelp uses as in reviews but I will also include an excellent pro with a con that tries to triumph my place. Using a map with also be helpful so that the people looking the particular vendor can find the location. Also just by using a lot of research and opinions unbiased by the people I can get the best results.
