Techcrunchhears that Google is in in advance public lecture to buy Yelp ( supposedly for $ 500 million ) , and that the deal , while not finalized , is very close to that stage . This could be a immense boon for Google ’s mapping and mobile feat .
This is a little bit odd because Google already has Places , which is a fairly like ( and actually quite good ) servicing to Yelp — but Yelp is the biggest crowdsourced directory out there , and knowledgeable mingling with Maps could make it all the more knock-down . This is unconfirmed as of now , but we ’ll keep you updated if we hear anything else . [ TechCrunch ]
