Zvents, the local search and advertising network, and YELLOWPAGES.COM announced a partnership to power unique local search capabilities. The YELLOWPAGES.COM local search iPhone application, powered by Zvents and announced last week, is available at the Apple® App Store; the app ranks among the Top 25 downloads.
Ethan Stock, Zvents CEO and founder, said, “It is clear that mobile search is a key aspect of local search, and our collaboration with YELLOWPAGES.COM reflects Zvents’ commitment to helping local businesses find customers through multiple channels and local brands.”
What Do We Think?
Nobody wants to be a pure play any more. We all need to mashup and partner to provide things to the user. Sharing knowledge pools and hopefully some revenue is also a good idea. And having an attachment to an Apple iPhone application to boot, can’t hurt to generate buzz.
