Facebook now includes restaurant reviews
The social network Facebook continues to search for the formula to attract the attention of more users. And, after being the social channel for sharing all kinds of posts, status updates, videos, and news, it seems to be willing to generate its own content and increase its worth. At least that is what emerges from his latest movement, with which he bets on the critics and restaurant reviews, which are now shown in the local pages
This is a new movement that, at the moment, is only in test mode.And it is that Facebook has begun to include restaurant reviews only in United States, collecting some establishments in which to include reviews so that users know first-hand what is the atmosphere, what is the quality of the food and what experience can be expected from said establishment. Something that adds more value to the pages of these places where it is not only possible to know their hours, their publications or contact their managers
Of course, for now these are the first steps of this feature, which has begun to be tested in the marketNorth American The funny thing is that for these criticisms Facebook does not use the opinions and ratings of users and customers who have passed through the premises, but has also begun to collaborate with prestigious publications such as New York Magazine, Bon Appétit, the San Francisco Chronicle or Condé Nast TravelerIn this way, the reviews are written by experts in the field to ensure that there are no inflated ratings or malicious comments.
These reviews or their summaries appear both at when searching for an establishment, finding a carousel with some of them related with the place; or through its own space on the pages dedicated exclusively to these places Of course, the content is not owned or exclusive to Facebook , rather it is a abstract of the article published on the web pages of these review services. Therefore, if you want to go deeper into the review, you need to click on the summary and access the website of those who have published it.
At the moment only some restaurants have begun to show all this information, but it seems like a point in favor of FacebookA social network that you can do without other applications if you manage to make this function come together and extend it. And it is that, in addition to professional criticism, the pages of these places will continue to host the commentsnments and evaluations of private users and clients More than enough for any user Anyone looking for the place or interested in visiting it can get an idea of what they will find.
Of course, to enjoy it in Spain you will still have to continue using recommendation applications. And it is that Facebook has only begun to test the ground with this functionality, without specifying dates or a specific action plan if it ends up settling. We will have to wait, then, to be able to see restaurant reviews when looking for one through the most popular social network.
