US-HEALTH-BED BUGS-FILES
TO GO WITH AFP STORY US-LIFESTYLE-TOURISM-INTERNET
(FILES)Bed bugs crawl around in this February 2, 2011 photo in a container on display during the 2nd National Bed Bug Summit in Washington, DC. Bed bugs, bad service and terrible food used to be inevitable risks when traveling, but a host of online review sites such as Yelp and TripAdvisor are helping savvy consumers pick the best hotels and eat like locals. The power of good reviews quickly shows up in the cash register, producing a virtuous circle in which business owners bend over backwards to keep them coming. But bad write-ups can take a big bite out of a business -- and give frustrated customers a taste of revenge served cold. Small businesses who cannot afford advertising seem to be the biggest beneficiaries as review sites allow them to compete with well-known, and well-funded, brands.
