i'm pretty sure most of the process is automated. at least if you put your business on google on your own. then they send you a robo-call or postcard with a code on it. they cross reference your phone number or address with yellow pages.fishmech posted:also like half the info for businesses is put in by rando google users

yard salad posted:business have to pay google to have their results and reviews show up and Google hires call centers to harass businesses into paying up. it's not so much advertising as it is literal extortion, especially if they convince business that this is how people with disposable income decide on where to spend money Literally completely wrong + you're an idiot

When reviewing our policies, research has shown that these loans can result in unaffordable payment and high default rates for users"

the worst one is Line i wanna love it because it's japanese and we all like quirky japanese things but here's what it made me realize. you know how japanese video games seem to have really bad interfaces? like you have to go through a lot of tedious menus and confirm every action multiple times? i've often wondered if they were this way as some intentional design choice, like it's saying, this is life, it's complicated. or they're trying to make you suffer as if it's a challenge like the game itself. no, they are just really bad at making interfaces over there. and they make really lovely engineering choices a lot, which also translate into interfaces with lots of loading and stuff. maybe it's because they're spoiled over there with fast internet so they don't care about optimizing certain things. but yeah it's bad in any case. like you can't be signed into line on two devices. if you sign in on another device, it signs you out on the other device and deletes your chat history on both. or that drat nintendo mobile game Miitomo. opening it causes a waiting... loading... cycle, opening most menus does too, or doing any action at all. all with modals instead of more subtle features.

ahmeni posted:have none of you assholes seen The Internship where the climax of the movie is vince vaughn showing a local mom and pop restaurant how they can improve their customer engagements with Google AdWords i saw it and it was mostly your standard Owen Wilson silly comedy, but the overt Google branding everywhere was crazy. it was like a big commercial much of the time. atomicthumbs posted:for some reason it seems like many japanese engineers and anime creators are bad at understanding how humans actually do things or act or speak well, this is a country that had world renowned cell phones in the 90's. they had mobile television, NFC-esque payments and actually use QR codes on the regular. they were really good at rolling these things out. maybe because the main corporations in Japan were technology companies who love change and the biggest ones in America were oil companies who hate change. when Steven P. Jobs made the iPhone few thought it would do well there, but it's huge. so the technology companies are playing catch-up in the usability department. naturally they would get a lot wrong the first few tries. i think there's a similar story with video games. Japan made a lot of classic arcade games. then came the switch to home console and a lot of their games were arcade ports. then the console games they did make seemed very arcade like. Shenmue was an attempt by a team of mostly arcade game developers to make essential a massive open world game where you could do anything. it was a neat game, but nearly bankrupted the company, and had bizarre quirks, like use of the D-pad for movement in a 3D game.

arcade games were good because they had to be enjoyable to play but they also had to difficult enough to keep the quarters flowing so you didn't get dumb press x to win poo poo (later evolving into press x every five minutes a million times or pay $50 to win)
