Google Places Swallows The Awkwardly Named ?Hotpot?

I can't recall Google pushing a product as hard as they've pushed Hotpot on their blogs in recent months. I swear that on a daily basis there's some sort of update about "what's new with Hotpot". The only problem? I have basically no idea what Hotpot is. I mean, I sort of do, but it's such a bad name and it's a product that seems to overlap with other Google products, so I just don't get it. And now I don't have to. Google is killing off the Hotpot name, as they're announcing in about five blog posts today. But they're not killing the product itself ? instead, it will now reside as a part of Google Places. They're calling it a "graduation". I'm calling it a "gorging". And it's definitely the right move.
