Lisa, thanks the writeup. @Mark, can you let me know what city and place you were trying to add? Our source for local data isn't perfect, and I'd like to know where it's slipping up. Also, if the place doesn't turn up, PlaceShout lets enter the name and address manually as well. BTW we've got some exciting developments coming up with PlaceShout so stay tuned.

I had no trouble adding a city and restaurant last night. In fact, the restaurant I went to add is a chain and it actually listed several in the same vicinity and asked which one I was reviewing. It was quite impressive. Here's hoping you just caught the site at a fickle moment... You may want to give it another shot?

Spent a frustrating 10 minutes trying to add a City and a comment only to be kept informed that the place didn’t exist. Funny thing was the Google map at the side was showing me exactly the place I was referring to.

There was no help section or information to tell me what I was doing wrong. Do I left in disgust.

Not linking to PlaceShout was a total oversight. I'll go ahead and fix that ASAP. I absolutely meant to link. 2. I hope that it succeeds. I really like the concept of the site and I think they're being smart about the way they allow reviews to come in and the form that they take. 3. I don't think it'll overtake Google's own rating system, only because I think common searchers will give Google's ratings more weight since they're branded. I'd love to see Google acquire this site and maybe build off/expand it though. That'd be great. Oh, and I haven't seen your social networking site yet. I'll have to go and check it out! :) Hi Erica,
