Account verification Yelp style, how is it more "secure" than traditional verification?
- by Chad
For business owners to "take control" of their business page on Yelp, they register for it.
The Yelp system performs a telephone call-back. From watching to the video here, it sounds like a telephone version of what we all typically do - e-mail check.
For e-mail check, it basically goes like this:
User registers verify e-mail sent they click link inside verify e-mail site verifies
Here's Yelp's:
User registers verify screen shown with code Yelp calls user user enters code site verifies
It's essentially the same thing, via phone. Is there any reason you can see why this method is better than the e-mail method?
