Burrp launches online TV guide… sticky addition to its social hangout offerings

Burrp has lauched an online TV guide that brings internet style interactivity to the task of keeping abreast of your favorite TV programs. The guide is an easy way to track what’s playing on TV, set reminders, manage schedules etc. It provides a comprehensive view of what’s playing across TV channels along with show timings, channel details etc; set SMS alerts to act as reminders before shows or movie etc. Screenshots below.

The TV guide is a useful addition to the core service the website offers (restaurant reviews, entertainment hotspots etc) and should help increase its stickiness amongst users. For users this is one more reason to visit Burrp.

Burrp is currently doing about a million pageviews every month. They are covering 8 cities- Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, Pune, Ahmedabad, Chennai and Hyderabad. And the highest traffic generating cities are Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi and Chennai in that order.

Please participate in the Empower Social Media Research Survey

EmPower is a global research & media services company based out of New York & Bangalore. They are conducting a research study about the extent & impact of Internet-based social media (blogs, wikis, podcasts etc) in India. This must rank amongst the earliest research exercises at understanding the consumer behavior in the social media space in India.

As part of the research, EmPower has created an online consumer survey which needs to be filled out by users. This is a short survey and takes app 7-8 minutes (I took it myself). Can I request the readers of this blog to spare a few moments and help them gather some meaningful & actionable data.
