This is ridiculous. Zagat was not bought for its terrible app. It was bought so google would have an excellent amount of curated data on locations and restaurants.

Google pages and google maps had zagat ratings 1 month after Zagat was bought. All that data was free 1 Month after google bought zagat. Just open up google maps, boom zagat ratings.

The zagat guide was always hard to read through. The zagat app was always crap. All zagat had was their data, and thats what google has successfully leveraged. This article is a rant that shouldn't have been given a forum.

Unlike this comment.
