Congratulations to Tim and Nia Zagat on the sale of their company to Google. After 32 years of ratings magic, expect even bigger things with the power of Google now backing Zagat. Maybe we can get them to do a tabletop ratings book?
Again, congratulations and best of luck! According to the NY TIMES, Google’s purchase of Zagat comes as the Internet search leader is trying to help people connect with local businesses — and sell ads to local merchants in the process. In a blog post, Google said Zagat “will be a cornerstone of our local offering.”
