“I had a wonderful review of my business appear on my [Brownbook listing] a few days after signing up for your service. It was an unsolicited endorsement from a business associate. Right on! May 22, 2009 11.06”
Marc Lyne, co-founder: “We are currently listing 28 million businesses from all around the world. One of the reasons for Brownbook’s success, I would say, is that we never stop providing innovative new features to businesses, helping them to get found online. This keeps the site fresh and on its toes. Here are 2 of our latest enhancements, for example:
1. Stats counters and stat graph on every businesses page; plus a global stats league table, since May 5, 2009, here: www.brownbook.net/user/hof/top-viewed-profi...
2. Bidget (Business Widget) for reviews. Now anyone can add their reviews that appear on Brownbook to any other website, blog or forum. See an example here: the Brownbook page for Onedrywash: www.brownbook.net/business/31008544/sjk-pro..., and their Brownbook reviews which they have placed on their own blog: onedrywash.blogspot.com ”
