Internet Brands Buys City Guide And Info Site ePodunk

Internet Brands, an operator of e-commerce and community-focused media sites, has bought ePodunk, a site that profiles cities and small towns. Financial terms were not disclosed. The eight-year-old site currently has a range of data on more than 47,000 local places, ranging in size from metropolises to towns so small they not even counted by the U.S. Census Bureau. It also covers localities in Canada and the U.K.

On ePodunk’s community pages, the site culls demographic and historical information, photos and guides to regional museums, parks and other attractions. Users are asked to submit photos and blog about communities they live in or have visited. Los Angeles-based Internet Brands believes it can use ePodunk’s's data enhance its other e-commerce/community web properties such as RealEstateABC.com, Loan.com, and ApartmentRatings.com sites.
