Citysearch Connects Into Twitter

West Hollywood-based online restaurant and business reviews and listings site Citysearch announced this morning that it has created a new way for its customers to connect with Twitter, with a new API which allows local businesses on the site to connect their existing Twitter account, or create a new one, with their business profile. Citysearch said the new Twitter integration will allow consumers to view tweets tied to a business on local business listing pages, and tweet directly with businesses via the site. Citysearch is a unit of IAC. In a related move, Citysearch said that IAC site Urbanspoon will also be pulling in Twitter streams from restaurants which add their Twitter username to their profile.
