I'm not sure how that answered the parent's point. SlyShy claimed that the pages who are at the top of search results are more likely to be tech savvy, and therefore more likely to use Google Places (and therefore have a link to Google Places next to their search result). I think that's an interesting alternative explanation, although obviously we can't really tell whether the parent's interpretation is more accurate than TechCrunch's or not without looking at data. I don't understand what you meant though. Can you clarify please?
