You think Tubes are fucked up: Google Places blocked from Tripadvisor

Looks like Google's tubelike (ripping content albeit with attribution and link back) shenanigans got blocked

TripAdvisor confirmed the move today in an email, stating that while it continues to evaluate recent changes to Google Places it believes the user does not benefit with the ?experience of selecting the right hotel?.

?As a result, we have currently limited TripAdvisor content available on those pages,? an official says.

The only mention at this stage is of Google Places ? but this could quite feasibly extend to Maps or elsewhere (an initial search found no TripAdvisor reviews on Google Maps).

TripAdvisor reviews of hotel properties, alongside reviews from other providers, were streamed in as part of bitesize summaries of individual reviews, with a link to follow in order to read the full review on the TripAdvisor site.
