Despite Google Aquisition, Zagat Still Feels Like it's Stuck in the Stone Age

Oh, Zagat. I was really hoping this new Google acquisition would update what's become a rather stale form of restaurant evaluation. Last year I published a blog post that listed their five most popular restaurants and noted these establishments have sat on top of Zagat's polls for years. This year's...

Oh, Zagat. I was really hoping this new Google acquisition would update what's become a rather stale form of restaurant evaluation. Last year I published a blog post that listed their five most popular restaurants and noted these establishments have sat on top of Zagat's polls for years.
