I Google places I want to go or need directions to or want to research on my phone constantly, so I’m really digging the newly-launched Google Hotpot, a ratings and recommendations engine for Google Places. Most iPhone-toting tech writers will miss the killer app in this whole product: the Android homescreen widget, which lets you rate the place you are currently in with one tap, no application launch required. The downside to Hotpot’s social component is that you have to build a whole new friends list of people whose recommendations you want to see. Gawd, I’m tired of making friends lists. Here’s my entire writeup at FastCompany.com: Google Hotpot Powers Local Recommendations (Watch Out, Yelp).
