Yelp to let businesses comment publicly on reviews, TEC
NEW YORK (AP) ? The review Web site Yelp will soon let businesses respond publicly to customers' critiques.
The new feature comes amid various complaints from businesses reviewed on the site.
In an e-mail to some of its most active users Thursday, Yelp solicits feedback about an upcoming feature that will let businesses post replies to user reviews.
Businesses must first register for a free business owner's account. After a business posts a reply on the site, Yelp will alert the reviewer by e-mail.
Currently, businesses that want to challenge a review or correct errors must contact the reviewer via Yelp. Businesses have not been able to post direct replies on the site.
San Francisco-based Yelp plans to activate the reply feature in a week or two.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
