Online local guide Citysearch announced the launch of Mobile by Citysearch, promising an optimized mobile browsing experience for local content complete with the service's millions of business listings, editorial reviews and user-generated recommendations. According to Citysearch, the mobile app enables users to write reviews directly from their phones as well as share business listings via text-to-phone service--all interactive content is tailored specifically to each unique device interface, optimizing key attributes, including content layout and keystrokes required to surface search results. Navigation tools and drop-down fields on select phones allow users to narrow their searches based on various attributes or distance--subscribers may also access the "Best of Citysearch" listings for suggestions on local hotspots.
