Yes, I wanted to get your attention, did I? Great, so now sit back and come with me on this idea.
The history of each one begins with a simple search for a place, what the values are, the space is well structured (especially in the matter of accessibility), if the food is tasty, the drinks are varied and etc.
From there we decided to meet a place, but we also took into account your score and comments. Have you thought about the power we have?
And it’s a power that everyone can get, thinks to me: In the old days when we wanted to know about a place, we searched for information from relatives and close friends, who could have known, we always took into consideration what they felt, tried, paid for. Currently we give this same value to people we probably never know, but through photos and reports, gave us a preview of what would be the place, this is incredible.
I myself, several times I searched places, for example, hamburgers, looked at the assessment of the place, and to have more details, I was paying attention to the pictures, the descriptions: is it always full? It’s spicy the hamburger, can I make reservation, the service is fast? And so I measured the place, and the higher the level of the local guide, the more credit I gave, and finally I determined whether it was worth knowing or not.
What does a person gain from it? She just wanted to comment on the place or she thought: I’m going to write my positive experience (so others also live it) or negative (to avoid it). And what touched me the most was the meaning I found: to serve!
I love posting photos of the foods I try, the places and their architectures, it is incredible to be able to provide these details to others, before going to the place, to have a preview. Taking pictures for me, is to lend my eyes so that others can see it my way, that’s how I feel when I see photos of other local guides as well. I love taking pictures of well-assembled dishes, mostly rustic recipients, have a hamburger near my work, where the potato comes in a pot, but rest assured, it’s only used for that.
It is great to be recognized, whether the photos take a prominent place, or the comment receive likes, but the main thing is to know that what I contribute to google maps, served someone and made a difference in the decision and the life of a person.
