Google launches crowdsourced TV show and movie reviews, but only in India
Google has added a new feature that allows web users to contribute their own movie and television reviews right within Google search results – a step towards the possible implementation of Google’s own Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB-like reviews service. But before you get too excited about this, be aware that the feature is currently only available in India.
The addition was first spotted by the blog Android Police, which noted that the search giant had last year introduced like and dislike buttons on movie and TV shows’ results cards.
Google confirmed to us the new feature is live, but clarified it was something that’s only available on web, mobile, and the Google app in India, in the English language, for the time being.
The user-submitted reviews are also automatically filtered for any inappropriate content, Google says, and they can be flagged by individual users if something inappropriate manages gets through Google’s system.
