The issue has been resolved on their end, but we are still noticing some stuttering on their side.</p>
<p>Thanks for your understanding and patience. We are working with them to resolve the issue.  btw, this is the first time something like this has happened to them since we started hosting with them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>not that we&#8217;re ever the ones to toot our own horn, but we&#8217;ve been up to quite a bit lately (and much more yet to come!). we&#8217;ve been bad children here for not keeping you up to date as frequently as we&#8217;d like to, and while we may deserve a spanking for that, we&#8217;re going to try our best to make it up to you. in the meantime, check out what&#8217;s already out the kitchen this past few weeks at burrp!:</p>
<p>1. burrp!TV - Zoom has been a fantastic partner of ours from the get-go, and a positive supporter and believer in burrp!TV, so much so that we are now providing  Zoom&#8217;s daily schedules to them for use on their own website, with all the cool functionality that one would find on burrp!TV. It is just a matter of time before other channel&#8217;s will be lining up for the same. We salute Zoom for being a catalyst in the industry and being a strong partner of ours. Check out the implementation <a href="http://www.zoomtv.in/schedule/">here</a>.</p>
<p>2. Moneycontrol.com Partnership - We were humbled when Moneycontrol.com, one of the world&#8217;s highest trafficked financial portals, came to us and asked us for local content. We&#8217;ve implemented the local search widget on their site <a href="http://wealth.moneycontrol.com/">here</a> (on the right-hand side bar) and will also be launching a deeper interaction with them in the coming month. Sounds juicy? Stay tuned to find out how and when&#8230;</p>
<p>3. Sharing is Caring - Now share everywhere! Facebook, Yahoo! Buzz, iGoogle, Digg, StumbleUpon&#8230;whatever floats your boat, you can now share reviews and places across these other great social platforms. Look out for the icons under each and every review and local business on burrp! Doesn&#8217;t that make things a whole helluva&#8217; lot easier? </p>
<p>like i mentioned earlier, there are some really huge things in the pipeline, some of which you may expect, others which will completely take you aback&#8230;we aim to please, what can we say? stay tuned, keep burrping, and as always, onwards and upwards&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Often wished that you found out about that brand new lounge before your boastful colleague did? or Hoped there was an easier way to know where and when to get a dose of some live jazz in the city? or Wondered why you didn&#8217;t get to know any sooner about a food festival that is already done and over with?</p>
<p>In case you haven&#8217;t noticed the super cool additions to the city home pages, here&#8217;s some news for you. We&#8217;ve launched <a href="http://mumbai.burrp.com/events.html">events</a> and new places. There are little boxes on every city&#8217;s homepage called &#8216;What&#8217;s On&#8217; and &#8216;What&#8217;s New&#8217;. What this means is that now you can stay tuned to what&#8217;s hot, happening and new in your city through burrp!. &#8216;What&#8217;s on&#8217; or burrp! <a href="http://bangalore.burrp.com/events.html">events</a> covers pretty much every live music show, food festival,wine tasting session or DJ gig in your city. What&#8217;s on will lead you to the <a href="http://chennai.burrp.com/events.html">events</a> page for that city. When you get to that page you&#8217;ll see MORE <a href="http://delhi.burrp.com/events.html">events</a>. </p>
<p>&#8216;What&#8217;s New&#8217; gives you a run down on all the new places that are mushrooming in the city these days. </p>
<p><a href='http://blog.burrp.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/events.gif' title=''><img src='http://blog.burrp.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/events.gif' alt='' /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The long wait is over and we hereby break the news! <a href="http://tv.burrp.com/"><strong>TV is finally here!!!!</strong></a> (applaud!, applaud!, jump with joy too!) and we have never been more proud of anything we&#8217;ve done. Slick, fast, hot, modern and totally up-to-date, here&#8217;s what TV has in store for you sweet burrpers -</p>
<p>•	<strong>Search</strong>: A super efficient search tool that allows you to search by show name, channel, genre or just any relevant keyword<br />
•	<strong>Time Travel</strong>: Vroooom! No other medium offers you the ability to view channel schedules 14 days ahead of time!<br />
•	<strong>SMS Alerts</strong>: Set SMS alerts that act as reminders before shows or movies so that you never ever miss them<br />
•	<strong><a href="http://tv.burrp.com/movie-explorer.html">Movie Explorer</a></strong>: Just a movie person, are you? Here&#8217;s a browser only for all the flicks playing across all television channels (My personal favourite!)<br />
•	<strong><a href="http://tv.burrp.com/scheduler/view.html">TV Scheduler</a></strong>: The scheduler, with its drag and drop functionality, lets you see the overall picture of what&#8217;s playing where across all channels simultaneously</p>
<p>The show details are supported by show timings, channel details, show repeat dates and show synopsis. There is a provision to &#8216;favourite&#8217; the channels you care about the most so you don&#8217;t have to browse through everything. There&#8217;s a lot of other hidden features that you will discover as you spend more time on the site which of course, we want you to do. <img src='http://blog.burrp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> So do check it out and<br />
tell us what you think. We are new and we are definitely not perfect so please send us plenty of <a href="mailto:tv.feedback@burrp.com">feedback</a> as always and continue to help us get better.</p>
<p>Happy burrping!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This anonymous note came to us last night through the feedback form on burrp! - </p>
<p><em>&#8220;This Web 2.0 thing *can* get a little old, if not done properly. But what can I say to you guys&#8230;I don&#8217;t really know who you are, or where you&#8217;re from, but what you&#8217;re doing is beautiful! Burrp is a dream come true for foodies like me! Of course it&#8217;s addictive, blah blah&#8230;but you guys have really improved the quality of my life, in your own quiet way! Lots of love and hugs :-)&#8221;<br />
</em><br />
The sender did not leave back an email address so this is the only way we can communicate back- </p>
<p>&#8220;To our source of inspiration,</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t know who you are and where you&#8217;re from either but you just made our day, in your own quiet way.. Thank You. It feels great to make something that someone falls in love with- almost makes us feel like talented artists. =) Little anonymous notes like these give us the motivation to work tirelessly, build what we&#8217;ve built and continue to give burrp! umpteen face lifts every other week. We promise to never disappoint you.</p>
<p>Have a great weekend! As for us, we just found another reason to have a blast while we are busting our a$$! =)</p>
<p>Thank You &amp; Happy burrping,</p>
<p>-&#8217;the very happy&#8217; team burrp!&#8221;</p>
