Nokia and Kooxoo and mobile search?

Rating: Kooxoo?

by Bena Roberts

I hate not knowing a company even if its in China when the topic is mobile search. So I saw article on Pacific Epoch and even though I am going to be late for our local village Fasching (carnival) start party – I decided to do some digging.

Basically, it reported that Nokia is partering with Kooxoo search in China.

Kooxoo
By the looks of its, Kooxoo is a local online search provider in China. It only focuses on major cities in China and its value add is that it finds places to live – shared or private.

You can also purchase tickets and things with the search so its targeted at an 18 to 35 target market which a disposable income.

What is Nokia doing?
I think that Nokia will just add this to its local search index via its mobile search application. The Yellow Pages and all other directories are on this too.

There you go – did the earth move for you too?
