Interesting; I wonder if the inherent smaller-ness of sites like Yelp gives them some kind of usability advantage over something huge like Yahoo or Google; although Yahoo has attempted in the past to create some kind of social aspect across all the various facets of their site, there isn't the same sense of community that a smaller site has. Google the same. There are some counter-examples, such as MySpace, but they might not count as the application itself helps to create a smaller social context within the whole.
