Lauren Leek's post about London restaurants was a good read. Her description of Google Maps as more of a market maker than a simple directory is spot on.

How Google Maps quietly allocates survival across London’s restaurants - and how I built a dashboard to see through it

I wanted a dinner recommendation and got a research agenda instead. Using 13000+ restaurants, I rebuild its ratings with machine learning and map how algorithmic visibility actually distributes power.
