While I see your point, I would believe this more with a website that was specifically used to search, aggregate, recommend, and communicate with restaurants (or other businesses). When did we start using Facebook to search for restaurants, movies, malls, shopping? I honestly do not consider FB as a source to find such places -- Google Maps (or just any search engine people use), Yelp, or whatever else serves its purpose much better, wouldn't you say? Is a crowd that uses FB the most also the one with enough spending power to have such an influence?

Where I live now (Philippines) this is exactly how Facebook is used. Local businesses don't even put up websites many times because it's far more important to have an updated and active Facebook page. Additionally, all sectors of the market use it here. However, I definitely recognize this isn't the case in the US and many European countries.
