Google Wants Seat at Dinner Table with Zagat Buy

Googles acquisition of Zagat -- a trusted source of restaurant, hotel and
destination reviews -- shows the Internet search leader means business
about creating and maintaining original content in a way it hasn't before.
.
The recent deal means Google is no longer just aggregating content from
other sites, but rather is collecting data and then making a judgment call
based on the input it receives.
.
That could cause trouble since Google will be the company behind
potentially negative or lackluster reviews from a highly trusted source.
But on the whole, the two companies seem to be a perfect fit.
.
They are both big on aggregation and crowdsourcing.
.
Zagat aggregates information and opinions collected from users and then
creates a valuable dataset that it can turn around and sell to others.
Zagat guides offer vital information and ratings on restaurants, hotels,
tourist attractions, and activities in more than 100 countries based on
annual surveys of more than 350,000 consumers worldwide.
.
That information could help Google be the uncontested go-to place online
for local information. Watch out, Yelp, Facebook Place Pages, OpenTable,
and maybe even Groupon and Living Social. After a rumored failed bid to
buy Yelp nearly two years ago, Google means business this time with its
deal with Zagat, which was founded by Nina and Tim Zagat.
