Zvents, a local search/events website, will now provide the event listings for MSN City Guides. While MSN’s City Guides aren’t a huge competitor for local eyeballs, they could easily be. It’s very easy to add the City Guide widget to the MSN home page (probably one of the most used home pages thanks to Internet Explorer).
There is a lot of work to be done on Zvents. Currently in Orlando they seem to have either the big events or some random small ones (VFW Bingo). A very nice feature is the ability to review events. This is helpful for reoccurring events.
Again local media sites need to start focusing more on local information…Where can I get sushi? What events are happening this weekend? Are there community groups in my area that I might be interested in?
