Patent attributes
In general, the subject matter described in the specification can be embodied in methods, systems and program products for an improved review system with location-verified reviews. The system verifies a user's location using one or more available sources, such as geographic location by global positioning system (GPS), cellular localization systems, or wireless local area network (WLAN). The user confirms the business or attraction at the current geographic location that the user would like to review. The system then accepts a review of the business or attraction at the current geographic location. The review is indexed for retrieval. Preferably, the system includes a delay before indexing a review, wherein the management of the business or attraction is notified of the review so that it can respond to any complaints in the review before it is made available for retrieval.
