The surprise never ends, I have people emailing me when they visit a place and delighted to see my photos. It is all about paying it forward as I have benefited by the community who posts on Google Maps.
I watched the neighborhood grow. Before Google Maps and the ability to show people the new neighborhood spots was limited. I was very happy when Black Lion Cafe opened in my neighborhood. I was happier when the owner told me that my pictures had made a difference. For an entrepreneur it meant a lot, almost like taking the traditional “Word of Mouth” to “word of mouse” . This is now a busy place, because they give good service, excellent Ethiopian coffee and delighted customers and local guides rave about them on Google Maps.
