If I write some restaurant reviews...

If I write some restaurant reviews, where should I do it - Yelp?  Google Maps?  I've already been saving all of the restaurants that I eat at in New York on a few different maps (restaurants w/ reps, restaurants w/ Angela), but I think I'm going to start writing some actual comments.  Yelp is popular right now, and has a passionate community, but I'm guessing Google will slowly build out their maps as a social network, even more-so than they are doing now, and that will lead to more integration with online resources, and more traffic.  You can already see the profile being built out, as my first review, maps, and a profile, are all laid out together.

My first review is of Black Hound, an amazing bakery that Angela took me to.

Flash Mob Pillow Fight in Union Square, New York City

Yesterday I participated in possibly one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life - a flash mob pillow fight in Union Square, New York City. At 2 PM on Saturday February 24th a few hundred people gathered to have giant pillow fight in the middle of the city. Within minutes the sky was filled with feathers, and pretty much all you could see was white. It was essentially a giant mosh put, with you being unable to take a single step without getting hit from one angle or another. We lasted about 45 minutes before tiring out, but it was still going when we left. If you're around in the city for this next year, its worth coming to see, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
