The quality, quantity and relevance all played a part in deciding how influential the photos were. Photos within the context of our service will likely play a much bigger role. Just like in Trip Advisor, the ability to take an image of the qualms we have about a venue\/hotel adds weight to the commentary we make.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, Be Seated users may trust certain user\u2019s reviews over others because of the quality of the writing and the quality of the image they upload.
