This is an excerpt from the very interesting essay entitled Vernacular Criticism by American critic and writer BRIAN DROITCOUR. Basically he writes that a review site like Yelp which gathers masses of user experience evaluations, has a real potential to refresh critical writing as well as to rethink institutional and critical practices.
