Not only is the content richer,e.g. business hours, but the new white background makes it easy to review the business info. As far as the 3rd party website reviews are concerned, I actually think it will have a positive effect on their site. This is because Google Places only gives a snipit of the reviews on the app and directs the reader to the 3rd party website to get the full review. It does not appear to that they include Yelp's star ratings into their overall average for the business. This is really too bad since the AVERAGE Yelp user tends to be more sophisticated and fair than the stereotypical weekend warrior website ranter/raver.
