Good god, I had never even heard of Google local or of people doing this in this way to get rankings. Wonder when google will catch on to this practice.

“OpenID is the solution to fake reviews. It’s not… and it represents a GREAT way for companies like Google to control even more of your access and perspective on the cesspool of the web” - can you expand on this John, how exactly will google benefit?

Google definitely does shape the way the web works. Being that I work in SEO I have a lot of respect and understanding for what Google does but I still like to see options. But the honest truth is no-one has been able to do it better. Cule tried and failed.
