Where are the incentives?

Whatever happened to the incentives for Local Guides?

It seems like Google should be doing more to encourage all the free work they get from their contributors.

I remember getting a pair of socks – which was cool.

And some e-credit on Google (quite useful, and doesn’t really cost Google much, especially for renting videos, etc.)

What else has anyone received as a guide they thought was neat.

Back in the olden days - and this may have been before your time - I seem to recall that Google had a pretty neat incentive it provided for its Local Guide contributors. I believe it was called “accurate and regularly updated view counts”.

Gosh, I miss those days :cry:

@MattGatlin Boy, I think you might be showing your age there.

I’m not sure I remember any time when I had that incentive. It seems like a dream.

Tell me more about the “good ol’ days”.
