I am suggesting that the level of incompetence at Google Places is high enough - from my business experience - that I have a hard time understanding how any of you - you, Mike Blumenthal - are advising clients to spend ANY time with Google Places. Its just so broken, I can't see how you don't advocate another local search strategy.
No one, but no one, has been able to help me with my problem, that is for sure. My time as a business owner has been wasted trying to redeem Google Places. And yes,I do think you guys are too easy on Google Places folk. They finally give Places a half *** effort and you guys are all hopeful.
