[Google Places with Hotpot](http://www.google.com/places/) allows customers to find, rate and share information about your business quickly and easily. So it really doesn’t matter if your business is a brewery, a restaurant, a shoe store or a video production company. If customers rate your business they will be using Hotpot and you should know about it. Brady’s post goes through the benefits for a business and how to use and take advantage of this free service. So take a look at Brady’s [post](http://craftedsocialmedia.com/2011/02/14/using-google-places-with-hotpot/) and let me know what you think.
