In reply to Brian Sparker. Or maybe they're already tried and Yelp didn't go for it. Perhaps that's why all of their recent actions seem to be undermining them?

In reply to Go Harry Go. The removed the 'More Reviews' tab from their site. It wasn't just directed at Yelp but they'll certainly be affected by it.

Didn’t they just cut Yelp reviews out last week?

Google’s really trying to leverage their success with Google Maps to get a foot-hold among review sites. They’re making a lot of changes to direct viewers to use their services instead of more popular sites. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.

In reply to Will Temple. Interesting theory Will, I could totally see this happening as Google pushes their way into the customer feedback space. I have a working theory that they will also attempt to buy Yelp, but who really knows?

I wonder if the ratings will change soon to reflect Google reviews only. The “reviews from around the web” used to effect your overall rating. For example, I have a client that has all 5 star reviews but some of these other reviews brought their score to 4.8.
