Yeti makes update

Finding local places just got a whole lot easier with Yeti's new update. Yeti works a lot like Tinder, except it is for places rather than people. By swiping right for approval and left for disapproval on places, like restaurants, site seeing hotspots, or coffee shops, Yeti learns what you love and serves up more of it. [With New Update, Yeti Hopes To Compete With Google In Local Search: TechCrunch]
