So what you have to do? Nothing.

Okay, that was a bad joke. Here are the steps:

1. Follow @onyomo on twitter
2. Tweet this: “Just entered the contest to win #Kaminey movie tickets. Follow @onyomo and retweet. http://bit.ly/TEYsh”

The contest ends tomorrow at noon and we will announce the winner then.

OnYoMo will randomly choose a winner among users who followed @onyomo and retweeted the specified message. Movie tickets will be handed over in form of Gift Vouchers worth INR 400 that can be redeemed on a popular movie booking site.

By the way this is just the start as much more is to come out of our contest pipeline.

Good Luck

Update: The contest is over, we will update soon with the winner.

Update: @Praval is the winner for this contest. Stay tuned for more contests.

From 2009, users will still be able to earn Community Credits, and stay ahead of their peers in their City, or across India – however these Credits will not be redeemable. All Community Credits earned till 31st December will be redeemable, subject to redemption conditions.

Please note that depending on business environment etc, OnYoMo might restart redemption of credits earned at onyomo.com. All such decisions will be duly announced on the site.

All OnYoMo users eligible for redemption will be separately notified of the details.

We truly hope OnYoMo was able to serve you well in the year 2008. We hope to better the services we deliver in 2009.

Here is wishing you a Happy New Year 2009 from The OnYoMo Team.

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.

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!

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 )

You guys are nuts – this will never take off… No other company has tried this before – why do you want to take this untested path??.. But what would stop any internet biggie to replicate your model overnight.. What are you trying to be – a mix of google, yahoo, ebay or what??.. These and many such comments that our initial discussions and efforts around OnYoMo drew constantly drove us to soulsearch what we were trying to be, and what we wanted to be – they crystallized our thoughts around our objectives.

With a 100+% belief and commitment, an overarching vision and a little cash, two people started this quest to make everyday life better! Aaah…what a grand objective…abstract too!! Underlying thought being “Availability of rich, accurate and timely information gives us higher satisfaction in almost every little thing that we do everyday. It enriches the overall quality of our life.”

Now its a universal truth that 3 is better than 2 – so we got a 3rd member to complete the founding trio that would put the bigger pieces together to weave the OnYoMo canvas. All three – vastly different in style, horrendously passionate, and a bit dreamy – but with that burning desire to translate those dreams…

Set off to do local search on products and services – launched Delhi and Bangalore end of Dec’05. Felt local maps would be a great value add over search results, so added that too. Pls no questions around who designed our UI, how we secured map data, tech etc etc. Wanted to do it..worked really hard and managed to do it (if we did that is!).

Till date, there has been no looking back. Our ambitions have only grown. And OnYoMo has had the fortune of receiving contributions from some really really outstanding and smart team members (OnYoMoites??..Dynamites??!!). Members who uniformly believe(d) in OnYoMo, in its aims. OnYoMo is also truly inspired by positive remarks and constructive feedbacks from thousands of users from hundred different cities all over India!

Till the time OnYoMo continues to receive approval from its user community, the march towards Where OnYoMo belongs will continue!

contd…Where OnYoMo belongs?
