As an expert IT database professional with 2 years posting on the Google Places Help Forum I am able to provide Google Places expert professional support.
I worked in IT for 28 years of which 24 were as a freelance consultant.
Three of us did double maths A-level and our teacher sent us on a 1 week Fortran course at Loughborough University.
I used the first IBM 360 mainframe in the UK at the University of Birmingham and taught myself IBM Fortran 70, being the first undergraduate to knock on the support teams door.
I designed the first SQL DS production database in the UK for a aerospace company and there was relief all round when it ran in 8 hours compared to the old systems 32 hours. Other users of the old Honeywell package had migrated to IBMs MAPPICS and had to go back to Honeywell for performance issues. Also SQL DS was a private project IBM project written in COBOL and C-ISAM files and was dead slow. I used a dot-matrix pre-print of IBMs SDM methodology.
At SPAR I had the terminal from the first multi-processor SUN SPARC in Europe on my desk and I implemented a multi-server Progress warehouse management project. It took me 2 weeks to tune the overnight run to run over-night. Programmers came and asked me why there were statements saying ‘If False =True then Read File-X’.

I have tried to set up google places for my address ate 222 8th ave, ny, ny, 10011. However it will not add but then replaces my phone # over a different store location. How do I set up my location and change the other stores phone# back to its original.
Hi,
When you try to add the new location does it give an option to claim the other store?
Cheers. Andrew.
Do you have any examples of websites you were able to get in the places section? Preferably in the USA.
Thank You
Steve
