Cox’s Kudzu, a local services ratings and review directory, announced last week that its implemented Facebook Connect. Users can now share their Kudzu reviews with friends by signing in via their Facebook account. Previously registered Kudzu users can also connect their Kudzu and Facebook profiles.
Kudzu head Tom Bates told us that the site continues to drive most of its revenue through its four initial markets: Atlanta, Phoenix, San Diego and Las Vegas. “But, since making the site nationwide last year, we have steadily built up consumer reviews and business registration in markets across the country.”
Bates also notes that Kudzu is powering the local directories for all of Cox TV’s 15 websites; the Cox High Speed Internet Service (cox.net); The Atlanta Journal Constitution; and The Dayton Daily News. Later this spring, Kudzu will also implement directories for Cox Radio’s 81 websites.
Good move for Kudzu. I might be moving them up on the local search directories rankings at http://www.emarketingmatador.com/step-2-local-search-directories
