Google Maps gives recommendations
Posted by Alicia Schofield
Google continues to add new features to Google Maps. The latest -- recommendations. How does it work? When you type a place into google maps it will give you a list of other nearby places that you might like.
With applications like Yelp and Foursquare, you could probably get a similar sort of result. With Yelp, there is a "people who viewed this also viewed" box, and with Foursquare you could probably get suggestions based on your check-in history (in theory anyway). However Google is the first to offer this specific recommendations service, showing that once again Google is ahead of the curve.
