Does anyone care to share a list of the leading "experts" blogging about Google Places?

I want to create a simple feed that will keep me up to date with changes, etc.

Hi Guys!

Here is a red hot Google Places resource I just put together for everyone.
It pulls together all the best Google Places news, optimization tips and updates from all over the web.

I scoop all the latest Google Places news, so you don't have to! :p

Google Places News & Optimization Tips

Direct link: http://www.scoop.it/t/google-places

I work hard to curate this resource and update everything at least once a day, often several times per day, so keep checking back.

And if you like it, please Tweet or Share!

  Thanks bsnrjones for mentioning my blog in the link above.
  I try hard! :p
  
  The leading blog for staying on top of all the Google Places issues and changes is Mike Blumenthal's. Understanding Google Maps & Local Search
  
  Matt McGee is good too: Small Business Search Marketing by Matt McGee | SEO Tips & Help for Small Businesses
  
  There are a ton of others I make sure to read everyday. It's the only way I can stay on top of all the changes! Every time I coach or mentor an SEO company or marketer that's trying to learn advanced Places optimization, they tell me at least 8 times during training - "I didn't know that - when did that change?" IMO you can't do a great job for clients unless you stay on top of all the changes. And there are so many changes you can't stay on top of it unless you really are committed and do this full time. Once you learn all the ins & outs, you realize it's just way too complicated.
  
  So it's great that this thread was started. Need to run, but will try to add some more blogs later when I get time.

You're welcome Chris.

There is also a new Official Google Places Blog. So far it's only featuring the type of news
you would have seen on the old HotPot blog, but hopefully that will change.
