		<description>@Spaceman - Finding the restaurant forum was an accident, I was just looking for restaurants.  I hadn&#039;t thought of forums as a way of finding a decent restaurant before, but now I&#039;m going to use them whenever possible.  I think it would be a great idea for travellers.  Thanks for your comment.

@Ayat - Excellent point.  We all need to be aware of sock puppets that might be lurking in any online conversation.  One problem is, when any praise is heaped on a person, organization, etc., others in the conversation are sometimes quick to claim the praiser is a sock puppet.  I found a blog post by Lynne Simpson and she lists some pointers for spotting them - http://www.lynnesimpson.net/2007/07/21/spotting-sock-puppets-101/</description>

		<description>Google is my best friend. I google anything and everything, and of course opinions count. The more expert and authority like a commentator seems, the better I feel about the decision I am &quot;influenced&quot; to take. I always wonder though, how many companies prop their own &quot;buzz meisters&quot; to do the promoting for them? How would an innocent bystander such as myself know the difference between an authentic buzz meister, and one that is buzzing for all the wrong reasons?</description>

		<description>It is rare if one of my friends doesn&#039;t have a good suggestion for whatever I am looking for.  When I am at a loss, I then google stuff in the area and see what kind of rating critics have given them.  If that hasn&#039;t decided it, I go to forums.  So far I haven&#039;t had to go to a forum for a restaurant recommendation yet.</description>
