I like Yelp but I've never liked putting all of my eggs in one basket.

I am about to launch a site this year (hopefully before July) that will rely heavily on Yelp for local businesses, restaurants, reviews, etc.

Are there any other noteworthy competitors out there with API's?

Basically, if my user is going to be in Tampa, I simply want to find restaurants, golf courses, etc.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I use UrbanSpoon on my iPhone.

BTW, you should mark this question as "community wiki", assuming it doesn't get closed since it only indirectly relates to code.

Thanks. But I forgot to mention that it should be world-wide as well. Yelp seems to mainly focus on the USA with maybe London as an "extra'. and UrbanSpoon only has a few cities outside of the US.

Umm... good luck with that. I'm not sure of a forum with a lot of folks with an answer to your question. It looks like a very vertical application.
