GOOGLE INC., $524.85, Nasdaq symbol GOOG, has paid an undisclosed sum for privately held Zagat, which publishes reviews of restaurants, hotels, theatres and other tourist attractions in over 100 countries. Zagat, which was founded in 1979, bases its ratings on information it receives from consumer surveys. It then sells this information through printed guides and its web site.
