Honestly, this is one reason why I don't like rating stuff on the net. I realize that tying validated identities to ratings is important to make manipulation more difficult, but I don't like the thought of leaving a public trail of my likes/dislikes and, for restaurants and hotels, locations. I'd be more inclined (though still quite reserved) if there was an option to leave a rating that appears publicly anonymous, while still being logged in, retaining Google et al.'s ability to track me to combat manipulation and whatever more nefarious purposes come to mind.
