So Google has announced that you can now post local business reviews via Google Maps. This announcement doesn't surprise me (Yahoo! has combined maps with user reviews for years), nor do I find it particularly interesting as it stands today.
What would be interesting to me is:
- If they integrated this into Dodgeball and let me post reviews via my mobile phone that synched up with my Dodgeball profile
- If they made at least some effort to combine local business reviews with some sort of community / social media offering
- If they leveraged their huge footprint of Google Map widgets to collect user reviews via a distributed rating model
So far, there's no sign of any of these three things happening, and without any of these sorts of mobile/widget/community components, this launch would appear to be something that you would expect to see in the 2002-2003 timeframe.
(yes, I'm a user review snob)
Yes, please try to connect the dots.
A huge pool of geo-widgets made by You and searched by whom ?

Well, now they're implementing user reviews for all websites. Along the side of all websites users can leave reviews about a website, and you can decide whether or not its worth it to visit said website all from Google. At least, that's the idea, assuming it doesn't get spammed into uselessness.

I was a student at The Golden Lion martial arts school and had a horrible experience. The instructors aren't able to effectively resolve issues that come up in class and play favorites. They teach self respect and for others but do not practice this themselves. Do not go to the Golden Lion, there are much better schools out there.
