It was Marissa Mayer who made that deal. I distinctly remember her saying the goal was an editorially written review for every business on the planet.

Tim Zagat invited us all to visit him if we were in MYC, to get a good restaurant recommendation (and reservation? I'm not sure if he said that).

My dad, who was an executive at a large non-tech company, used to get restaurant recommendations by calling the restaurant critic at the city's newspaper. Different times in a much less scalable world.
