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.
