OnYoMo Blog: Lets Share !

Now that the monsoons are here, we want you to catch your favorite flick in a snug little theater.

The deal is that you search for a movie/restaurant/cafe/atm/brand or retail outlet at Onyomo.com. Write a blog post with a link to the search, an explanation of what’s cool and may be even a screenshot. If you are feeling motivated, you can post a few searches to increase your chances. On Friday, July 4th, Onyomo will post links to the 5 best blogs and send each of those users movie tickets for 2. How easy could it be?

The goal is to highlight things such as
- the ease with which Onyomo throws up the most relevant results with all required information and forward links. For instance, in movie results, you can search by movie name/actor/show timings/genre etc, and the icing could be the show timing hyperlinks that take you straight to our booking partners!
- Or you could choose to highlight how OnYoMo attempts to connect people closely with their cities, by introducing the Community Credits for people to share their experiences of their cities
- Or you could just write about the breadth of information that OnYoMo delivers - from branded stores to your favorite retail chains, Cafes, Restaurants, Airlines, Movies, Book Stores, Beauty Saloons etc
- ok - if you are a mobile fanatic, highlight the search delivery on SMS and GPRS - and how convenient OnYoMo makes life for people by delivering this search on mobiles

Try out what you find interesting - some of the above, or all of the above - get your literary juices flowing on your blog, and if you’ve delivered the punch, you’d find us waiting to hand you over movie tickets and links to your blog on our site.

If this is your cup of tea, send us an email at feedback[at]onyomo.com with Community Credits as the title, a link to your blog post about OnYoMo, and your contact details. Or just leave a comment on our blog with your blog link.

We look forward to a few surprises, a few Aha’s!, and hopefully a lot of laughs.

Hi there,

Been a while that I penned down something here.

With rains around, it is a perfect time to let my pen flow!

For months together, we have pondered over how to get people excited about city search. Not just excited but also, how to get people closely attached to their cities. Thoughts and more thoughts, and a few more thoughts. And then it struck. We zeroed in on the idea of giving people credits for every contribution they make to OnYoMo - be it
- writing a review on their favorite joints, or
- voting on a review as a great review or
- inviting their friends to the service

And pretty much anything that people would wanna share with others. We’d shortly be launching a slew of options where users can earn credits. We do want this to be the first-point-of-search for anything in their city.

Well, we know only so much about what is critical to help this system make OnYoMo establish itself as the defacto. But we need to learn so much more. So pls do share your thoughts/inputs/feedback on this - we are all ears!

So you are the greatest movie buff in the town. Every Friday you head off to OnYoMo to find the latest movies released in your area. Meticulously, you finalize the movie that you will be watching. But now its time to actually book the ticket. You need to repeat the whole process on a movie booking site. Boring?

Well that was till yesterday and yesterday is gone. Things will be different now onwards. OnYoMo introduces single click movie booking in association with book my show. Now whenever you see next to show timings on search results page, Click on the show timing for which you want to book tickets and you will be taken to book my show site. Choose your seats and its done.

Yes its as simple as 123.

So put on your movie hats this summer and find yourself seated in a cozy movie hall. And remember, you have one more reason to start you movie planning from OnYoMo.

Hello,

Here is a brief update on what we’ve been upto.

We have extended ourselves to 11 cities now, including:
- Delhi/NCR
- Mumbai
- Bangalore
- Chennai
- Kolkata
- Hyderabad
- Ahmedabad
- Pune
- Jaipur
- Chandigarh
- Goa

There are many more cities coming over the next few months!

In these cities, we’ve attempted to put together some of the categories we felt would be immense use to you. Especially in the shopping section. We’ve added pretty much most brands, and retail chains that are out there. Then we’ve also added categories such as Plumbers, Electricians coz we realized these are the things that you might need day in day out. Then there are the usual Restaurants, Movies, Hotels, Cafes, Hospitals, ATMs, Airlines, Florists etc etc..

Needless to add, we sincerely hope that our users keep contributing to our database, by informing us of the hottest new restaurant that we don’t have, or about any missing chain or category etc.

Look forward to your help in helping us help others in finding what they need!!! Did we hear TMH (too much help )
