Google Still Advertising HotPot

Category: Google Hotpot,Google Places (Maps & Local) – Mike Blumenthal – 11:12 am

Google Hotpot was discontinued as a distinct product line last week. It was merged into Places and the Hotpot brand was summarily executed.

Apparently the folks promoting it on Adwords have not yet been informed of the change. I saw this ad today.

Please consider leaving a comment as your input will help me (& everyone else) better understand and learn about local.

  2. Haven’t heard of Google “Hot Pot” since I read this blog post over a year ago. Another one bites the dust I guess.
