Well for a change, Canada is at parity with the US

Who knows… test? buggy? pushed the button too soon? Regardless, I think that it will show up again in roughly the same layout but hopefully with accurate results

I am now wondering if it even went out the door intentionally in the first place. There were some glaring bugs and the UI was half-baked. I don’t think SMB owners are people you want to be experimenting on. But who knows with Google

Yeah it seem that Google was testing the new layout. Now everything is back to the old version.

This is rolled-back to the old version for me as of 9PM EST. I was seeing it yesterday. Are others still seeing it?

I assume the reservations are associated with the recent launch of reservations for hotels.

Are the reservation partners providing information back to google places to track reservations completed? Or is this just the number of reservation attempts initiated from places? I would hope the former. Has anyone seen this value being populated?

I would love to know when this reservation service will be expanded to other types of businesses.

I’m still waiting for G to allow integration of a places dashboard with a google analytics account like they have with adwords and adsense. earlpearl has it until then…”overall the information within the Dashboard simply sucks”.
