The UK's Best Time Out Just Got Better

The UK's Best Time Out Just Got Better

LONDON, December 30/PRNewswire/ -- The most powerful search tool for UK events has now been
launched online so anyone can find a time out to suit their tastes. woZZon
(http://www.wozzon.com) offers less time searching for what's on in your area
and more time enjoying it. While Google makes it easy to find the biggest
events in the area, information overload often means the best ones are the
hardest to find.

Now film, theatre, gigs, exhibitions, comedy, clubs, classical
music, family events and more can be found in one place. There are over
50,000 events listed at any time. In January for instance, you can enjoy some
live music at The Old Success Inn at Land's End, or take the kids on a
cultural trip to the Bonhoga Gallery in the Shetland Islands. Alternatively,
readers in your area will find all sorts going on closer to home if they
search for events on the site.

woZZon is the most comprehensive events listings service in the
UK. Whereas most search engines use computer programs to guess the best
search results, woZZon collects data from over 20,000 venues which is
collated by a team of editors, to provide relevant and reliable results. This
leads to tens of millions of individual events listed in a year. Search
results can also be viewed on an interactive map to show their location close
to you. Added to that, anyone can contribute their own venues, events,
comments and reviews.

The service is currently in public beta, ahead of a full launch
early in 2009. woZZon can be used online or on a mobile. It's free for anyone
to search and contribute content and will remain free when launched. In the
development pipeline for the next few months, the site will roll out
additional features including an advanced mobile version for phones with GPS.
Everyone in the UK will be able to ask their phone "what's on?" and the
results will be matched to their precise location.

woZZon's Product Manager, Ingeborg Albert, added that, "woZZon
does not try to do a hundred different things, we just want to provide a
listings service which is faster, more relevant and more comprehensive than
any other." What's more, the woZZon team are making a call for all promoters,
venue owners, performers and anyone attending events to add their own
content. Now even the most unusual events can be promoted for free, and the
fans and critics have somewhere to voice their views.
