Our Reading

The launch follows a familiar script.

Yelp’s new feature lets users ask questions and place orders in one go. Because, clearly, we’ve all been struggling to open multiple tabs or, heaven forbid, make a phone call. Conversation Flow is the answer to a problem we didn’t know we had. Yelp says it’s all about simplifying the user experience. One conversation to rule them all. How quaint.
