User-generated review site Yelp is quickly gaining on longtime stalwart Citysearch. For January 2009, Yelp had 22.8 million unique visitors compared with 30.9 million for Citysearch, according to Compete. Yelp's gowth rate for unique visitors has nearly tripled in January from the same period a year ago, while Citysearch's has stayed stagnant.
Prediction: Yelp's traffic for unique visitors will surpass Citysearch by August 31, 2009. Compete's metrics will be used to judge this prediction.

Yelp is absolutely awesome and they have the best apps. We love you Yelp.com. Also that cake looks good, I hope its sugar free.
Done deal as of July 31, 2009.
Favorable judgement should be rendered on this already.
Judged positively. Yelp edged out Citysearch in July, according to Compete.
