Recently I came across a site called VConnect. This site’s name is really easy to remember but often confused with similar site names like V-Connect, myVconnect and other similar ones. For those who are still not clear about VConnect; let me tell you that VConnect is a free local search engine in Nigeria where people can find information about any products, services or companies listed in Nigeria.
VConnect claims that more than 200,000 businesses are listed on its site. If it’s true then I think it is really great news for Nigerian people. I got a chance to look at this site in detail. You can search any information for free by visiting its website (www.vconnect.com)and send business information to mobile / email which is good. I am also impressed by its movies/theater feature where you can see current movies which are being screened in Nigerian theaters and quick help line numbers in Nigeria.
But what I found most interesting about this site is to have its call center facility. I believe it’s great & unique business concept in Nigeria. To my knowledge no Nigerian site offers this facility where people can call to 070 0000 8888 to find any information about product, service or company.
Although I am also skeptic about its call center feature; I mean how many people will spend N20 to N50 per minute just to get product or service information. It will be huge success although if call rate comes down over the period of time.
Apart from that I have experienced website’s loading time is high in few cases. But overall I find this site very user friendly and recommend all Nigerians (Naija people) to visit VConnect.com
