Two weeks ago, Google launched Hotpot, a new site related to Google Places that makes it easy (and sort of fun) to rate your favorite venues and see what your friends have recently liked. The tech press seemed to take notice of the site for two reasons: first, it's got a nice design and is more fun than you'd expect. And second, Hotpot is a pretty strange name. Now, it didn't take long to figure out that this was a reference to the Chinese meal hot pot, but many people have never heard of that, and Google didn't really go out of its way to explain the choice. Now, two weeks after it left people scratching their heads, it's posted an explanation to its Places blog that gives a bit more background:
