The Amoeba Project

Yesterday I was in Brick Lane with a good friend. As usual, the waiters stood in front of the door and tried to convince us that the restaurant we're standing in front of is just the right restaurant to go. And not only because of the free first drinks and the 20% discount. What none of the waiters knew is, I checked google on my phone beforehand to check out what the ratings of the restaurants are.

I explained, we had already decided on which restaurant we will visit. And we relied on the internet to the internet take this decision.

They then argued that they are aware that the others may have a better internet site but the curry is supposed to be better in their place.

What they didn't realize is that I was not talking about the website but about what *comments* former customers actually left on the respective restaurants. This has nothing to do with the restaurant's website nor with any city or restaurant guide. It's simply recommondations from former customers. Good
vs. not so good experiences written down on a seemingly independent website.

This finally made the waiters rethinking their strategy... or at least they stopped trying to convince us with specious arguments...
