Keep digging that moat, Google. As has been the case throughout history, the guy with the biggest moat wins, right? Oh wait, nope, that's not it. It's the guy who figures out how to bypass the moat who wins.
Google, please go back to innovating. People like you because you do new and exciting things, not because you have your hand in every business sector. Giant acquisitions like this and MoMo help nobody.
Edit: I'm not trying to say Google shouldn't protect their business, but I, at least, would prefer them to do it through innovation rather than buying giant companies.
Google already links to Zagat in their places reviews. This is Google buying a large and influential slice of pie to make it harder for others to compete.
...which is exactly what they're doing, right? By having let's say a Yelp competitor, they have an entire market that can be described as "anyone who eats" out at their fingertips...
