Google Bought Zagat

The search engine giant just announced that it has purchased the rating site Zagat for an unnamed sum. Zagat will continue to operate as a stand-alone business and it might also have an influence on Google’s local sales offerings. Google has more detail:

With Zagat, Google gains a world-class team that has more experience in consumer based-surveys, recommendations and reviews than anyone else in the industry. Founded by Tim and Nina Zagat more than 32 years ago, Zagat has established a trusted and well-loved brand the world over, operating in 13 categories and more than 100 cities.
