I can easily believe that Google+ isn't being forthcoming with their real intentions


Great idea, definitely will use this for my next car. Probably much easier to build a business around this than Padmapper.


I don't know how positive a picture this really paints. They had the uptick in the last quarter, but it's overall trending downward pretty seriously.


Believe it or not, this requires a real change in process for most businesses. Not many hostesses are hawk-eyed enough to spot an unhappy customer leaving.


I believe it -- I can only think of one time that a server even noticed a barely-touched entree and made an effort to find out if we were unhappy. Training, and eventually tools, for restaurants to understand customer sentiment before they leave the building would be amazingly powerful at influencing satisfaction scores. Call centers have technology at their disposal to perceive callers' moods from tone of voice and loop in a supervisor when they get exasperated. I wonder if anyone is applying this technology in restaurants?


In most markets, the waitlist to run a Groupon promotion is so long that it's tough for a business to dictate terms.

That is a good reason to run a promotion with a groupon-clone.

On the wiki there is a list of parking lots near campus:

In a few days that should be updated with a list of parking lots that do not reserve spaces for the game. Parking fines are doubled on game days, so be very careful parking on the street anywhere in Berkeley.
