Here’s a good piece on Google Blogoscoped about how spammers have been quick to move into google places.

It’s probably one of the biggest problems facing GYM, how can they possibly keep spam out. Even my dear del.icio.us has been getting thousands of spams a day now.

Google also faces another problem. The web site creation market has moved from the early days of, “Ooh I heard about this web thing and I want to do it too” to a more diverse world of blogs, forums, myspace profiles, wikis, and countless other niche applications.

Google pages traffic seems to reflect this.

Traffic is way way off from start, down to the sub 10k rank.

Maybe as time goes by they will improve their standings, after all it’s early yet, but it’s equally possible that the product may be abandoned due to mistargeting the market.
