Google pushes Hotpot recommendations to your search results

Finding information about a location or restaurant or other venue via your social network has some pretty serious advantages to it. As the service has grown, Google has decided that it’s finally time for it to come into the mainstream.

You can now enjoy Hotpot recommendations in your regular search results on Google.com. So say you’re looking for a restaurant in Barcelona. Go to Google and search [restaurant barcelona].
