Yelp.com, a directory service with social networking features and a place for users to post reviews, has expanded into Turkey, launching services for Istanbul, the company announced on its website yesterday.

“Our initial community-building efforts in Turkey will concentrate on Istanbul, the only city in the world to span two continents, but Yelpers can rate and review the great and the not-so-great businesses from across the country and share what their neighborhoods have to offer both locals and tourists,” the company’s statement said.

People in Turkey – Yelp.com’s 20th country – can now create profiles and access mobile maps or create a page for their business by visiting the firm’s website.
