MySpace starts a local search and ratings service
16 Apr. 2009 | Author: 
The internet community MySpace will soon add a local search and ratings service to its members. Called “MySpace Local”, it is expected to launch in the near future for the USA market for the meanwhile.
As discussed by MySpace in a press release, the new service is a result of a cooperation with the online service provider Citysearch. This local search and city portal will deliver the address data from small companies within the most important USA metropolitan areas.
Accessible on special city pages (“City Hubs”) within MySpace Local, users can search for local companies, write descriptions and ratings, and augment these with photos, videos and other details. Further, it is possible to bookmark one’s favorite undertakings or to add them to the user’s profile.
The beginning of April saw the start of a closed test-version. The USA version is expected to be opened to all USA users within a few weeks, provisionally with three categories: restaurants, bars and nightlife. This is to be expanded within the coming months to include areas such as medical, dry cleaners, hotels or attractions.
German MySpace users can also expect a similar product within the foreseeable future. Mats Wappmann, spokesperson for MySpace Deutschland, in response to questions from the news agency pressetext, said that MySpace Local is expected to launch in 2009 in Europe. The rating and recommendation of shops and restaurants on MySpace will in the meantime be beefed up with additional functions and be accessible via MySpace Mobile.
