This is neat and looking forward to your updates with Zagat.

Do you have any ongoing data relationships with Google regarding Zagat?

Did your acquisition include data ownership of all the Zagat data and information?

Yeah we're getting all of the Zagat specific content, but there is loads of Google data that we won't have access to moving forward.

We'll continue to have a symbiotic relationship with Google from a data/content perspective, but being an external entity will limit us in some capacities.

I'm curious, did you have to sign any sort of anti-trust paperwork acknowledging that Google will not grant you preferred spots in listings?

Is Google able to give your content preferential treatment in its index?
