Last week I wrote a blog about how businesses can add themselves to Google Places. Today, my friend Brady Walen, author of the blog, CRAFTED Social Media for the Beer Community and a fellow member of the LinkedIn Group: Beer and Social Media, wrote a great blog called Using Google Places with Hotpot. If you have a business that would benefit from public ratings then you need to read Brady’s blog.

Google Places with Hotpot 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 and let me know what you think.
