Agree on both. Often the yelp, tripadvisor, forusquare, facebook page of 
a company/place/restaurant can be found easier then their own page, 
because the SEO of those pages is much better. These review sites come 
and go. They are private, commercial services. They can be easily found 
by your favourite search engine or by entering the name string of the 
place together with the city in the search of the service. I don't see 
why they should be in the OSM database.
