Info Post
Editor’s Note: The Places team loves to recognize people who are actively contributing quality reviews via Google Places. We call this bunch our “Power Users,” and they frequently get invited to exclusive events, sent awesome Google Places swag, or entered into contests and giveaways. There’s only one way to become a Power User for your city: get reviewing today!

Recently, we had the chance to take a group of Austin Places Power Users out for a day at the ballpark to thank them for all the helpful ratings and reviews they’ve gotten online for the benefit of other Internet users. The group of 20 users —who’ve posted a collective total of more than 3,000 reviews since we first launched in Austin, with an average of 160+ reviews per person! — enjoyed box seats for themselves and two friends, not to mention an all-inclusive parking and concessions package at the Round Rock Express.


The Express didn’t win that day (sadly!), but one of our Power Users, Ann Nguyen, had a much luckier fate as she took home a $50 Salt Lick BBQ gift card for being the most prolific Power User in attendance with a whopping 727 reviews! Great job, Ann!

If you’d like to join us at other fun Power User events, make sure you’re signed up for our newsletter so that we have your profile link, and then start reviewing! The more quality, well-written reviews you share, the more likely you are to get an invite. And don’t forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for other upcoming events and giveaways as well.
