CitySearch Adds Mobile, Hyper-Local Features

CitySearch has gone live with a new hyper-local search experience that lets users find info and recommendations for local businesses and events and share them with their friends on social networks.

Instead of just offering city guides for 150 metro areas, CitySearch is now localized for more than 75,000 cities and neighborhoods across the US. And all those city guides have Facebook Connect functionality so users can log into CitySearch with their Facebook IDs.

There are also some new mobile features, including the ability for users to write reviews and share listings from their mobile devices.
