If Google pays me to find local businesses, should Skype?

$10 bounty per new U.S. Google Local business, as a Google Business Referral Representative. gSpy summarizes the program.

Unlike SkypeFind, Google's directory is pre-populated with data. Google is paying people to add local detail, like store photos and hours of operation, and to sign businesses to a formal relationship, leading to advertising down the road.

Maybe it's more than that. Maybe it's putting a human, personal, neighborhood face on Google.
