Great analysis espcially for local search – More info about HotPot, and how it’s different than Yelp. I agree – what I like about HotPot is short one-hit reviews, as opposed to crafting a full review for Yelp
“Where Yelp is all about depth, HotPot is all about width, in terms of trying to glean at least a modicum of rating information about each business from as many of its patrons as possible.”
