Systems like #Ziosk and #Presto allow customers to channel frustrations that would otherwise end up on public platforms like #Yelp — which can make or break a restaurant — into a closed system that the restaurant controls.

"In perhaps the creepiest example, Facebook applied for (and received, last year) a patent for a tool called Techniques, for emotion detection and content delivery.
