The Death Clock Is Ticking on Google Places:

Google Places like a thorn in your side?  You are not alone….

Be patient because good news is on the way. To recognize the inevitable changes that are planned for Google Places, you just need to step back and look at Google’s current business focus on Social, Local, and Mobile (So-Lo-Mo). Google Places is an old technology that is broken. Automotive Dealers have reported that their reviews appear and disappear on a regular basis. Google Places business addresses and phone numbers have been reported to revert back to older versions that were updated.
