World-First Web 2.0 TV Listings Format Launched
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
THRONG.CO.NZ Launches World-First Web 2.0 TV Listings Format
New Zealand television website
throng.co.nz has today launched a
world-first web 2.0
television listings format.
In development for more than
two years, the new format replaces the
traditional TV
guide grid and makes it easier to find what is on at a
glance.
Shows are displayed based on what is on now,
what starts in the next
hour and what is on in prime
time tonight. Shows are weighted according
to popularity
on throng.co.nz.
Members of the website throng.co.nz
personalise their listings to
highlight their favourite
shows and hide ones they're not interested in.
"We've
thought long and hard about TV listings and what we'd like
them
to be. We found traditional listings hard to scan
because they're
organised by channel and you can easily
miss things. We've removed the
clutter and made your
choice simpler," says co-founder Regan Cunliffe.
See the new look listings from today at throng.co.nz.
