I have a picture that needs to be split into 4, and each part must have a link.
Do people still use image hotspots?

Do people still use image hotspots?
I am assuming you are talking about client side image maps.
They are still being used and are part of HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.1, and also in the current HTML 5 draft.
They are simple to use and are supported by all browsers and as such are a good way to have “hot spots” on a single image. I can’t think of a single better alternative (ease of use, browser support, accessibility, being part of the HTML spec) that will give you this functionality.
Whether having such “hot spots” on a single image is advisable (discoverability by the user being the main issue), is a different question.
