I agree that they don't belong in OSM. Some of these sites will function
as means of contact, but I would tend towards only putting phone number,
website, email, and similar established means in OSM. We already get
rookie flacks/marketers cramming ad copy gibberish into description=*,
and I feel like Yelp/Foursquare/etc reviews are just more of the same.
