Google simplifies zany Zagat ratings

41 min.

Google is saying "feh" and "bye" to Zagat's cumbersome 30-point scale for restaurant reviews and local businesses.

Now users can?rank eateries with a?much simpler system, using four categories: "Excellent," "Very good," "Good" and "Poor-Fair."

Megan Stevenson explained the changes in a?Google+ post. Google bought Zagat a year ago.

The Zagat system isn't completely gone, however.?Stevenson wrote that "behind the scenes," Google will convert reviewers' ratings into numbers "and factor them into the business' precise 30-point score that shows up in Google+, Search and Maps."

As Matt McGee of?Search?Engine?Land?notes,?while the Zagat scores will still be visible in those places,?"eliminating the numerical scoring from review writing and review displays may be ? and should be ? a step toward eliminating the Zagat scoring system altogether."
