         | to fault them for. This link is claiming that OpenTable _is_
         | going to publicly associate first names and profile photos with
         | reviews. This seems much worse, if we 're comparing cases.

         | But critics of the past were never anonymous. If you review
         | film or food or anything, and it got published you put your
         | name next to it. You were proud of your opinion and how it was
         | delivered.

         | I think it's why video is more interesting to the current
         | generation than text. It isnt that video is more appealing,
         | it's much harder to be in(un?)-authentic when your face is out
         | there.
