We’ve come up with a new feature; you could always invite your friends to burrp! but it was never this easy.

Now share places, reviews, events or even invite friends to burrp! using your Gmail contacts from the Invite pop-up itself. No need to remember any email addresses; just select them from your existing list on Gmail.

To try out this feature:

• Go to a listing, event or review on burrp!
• Click on Share - Email
• Notice the ‘Import contacts from Gmail’ link? Click on it to sync your Gmail address book with your burrp! address book
• Now all you need to do is select the contacts from the list to share the listing, event or review with them
• You can manage your contacts from the ‘Manage Contacts’ link on the profile page. The Manage Contacts interface also lets you delete a contact (only) from the burrp! address book

This one’s both safe and simple to use. Give it a shot & tell us what you think.

Yogesh Mokashi, owner of The Egg Factory in Bangalore, this one goes out to you.

We’ve been on the look out for those phony reviews; yea, reviews of those that while away time faking it instead of focusing on enhancing customer experience. More importantly though, while we were on the vigil we also came across business owners that did not misuse the platform lent by burrp!

• Yogesh is a proactive member of the community; all reviews on his business detail page are real.
• Making the best use of SBS on burrp!, he responds to user reviews, both negative & positive, suitably & speedily.
• Not just that, he also applies user feedback to improve his business.
• He has maintained a healthy relationship with his customers & has been building goodwill for The Egg Factory amongst them.

Kudos Yogesh!

Keeping our eyes open for other such business owners, yes, you could hear your name; so you better be good ’cause burrp.com is coming to town!
