Yelp launched Wednesday in Taiwan, in an expansion of the Asian presence of the popular consumer business review service. "Beginning today, people throughout Taiwan are able to create accounts on Yelp.com.tw to share their opinions about great local businesses," the San Francisco company said in a statement. Yelp also launched its iPhone and Android applications for Taiwan and tools for business owners. Taiwan's 23 million residents "are, in many ways, very similar to Yelp’s home population in Silicon Valley,” said Miriam Warren, Yelp's vice president for new markets.
