Regardless of where you stand in the stream, technology pervades the world around you—as well as the business you do. Many of you are probably aware that you can see reviews of businesses on Google Maps, and that these are the result of users adding content and describing their experiences. You may also be aware that users can also update and/or edit information about a location or even add it if it doesn’t exist.
