Lets pwn some n00bs

Frankenstein… Dracula… The Legend of Sleepy Hollow….Yes, it’s that time of year again.  Time to give yourself a daily spook courtesy of DailyLit.

Viigo now showcases a classic line up of the spookiest stories ever written… Available right now in our Entertainment section.

In case you’re not familiar with DailyLit, it’s a free e-Book service that delivers a daily snippet (mobile chapter) of your favorite stories each day in Viigo until the story ends.   You can share snippets with friends (through email, twitter, facebook, etc.) just like you would any other RSS feed.

Adding a Scary Read is easy:

1) From the Viigo home screen, open the Entertainment module then click ‘Add Channel’.

2) Select eBooks by DailyLit, then choose ‘Scary Reads‘.

3) Select as many scary reads as you think you can handle.  Then navigate back to the Entertainment module where they’ll be waiting to spook you.

Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah, Hey Hey, Good Bye!

(ooooh … them’s fighting words!)

Continuing on our efforts to provide the best experience possible, Viigo today has released a significant upgrade to the application (3.1.486+) which, instead of delivering a host of new features, focuses instead on improving performance, data usage, memory consumption and battery life on your BlackBerry.

It is available today at http://getviigo.com or from any one of our Viigo Partner downloads (e.g. BBGeeks, BerryReview, CrackBerry.com, etc.) and from BlackBerry App World, but please remember to remove any earlier versions of the application in advance of downloading the new one especially if you are switching to/from the App World version for the first time.

Beyond the performance improvements, the latest version allows you to see ALL the RSS feeds you have subscribed across Viigo from within News & RSS module, neatly categorized by heading … all designed to make reading your favorite feeds even easier.

And once a story has been read in any module, they are synchronized across all modules. The example below shows an article read in News in the first image and recognized as read in Sports in the third image.

With the download of the latest version of Viigo, you will also have speedier access to the new and/or enhanced services such as the NFL, NHL and Soccer within the Sports module.

Sometimes Less Is More

For those of you interested in fine wines, Viigo’s happy to announce a new service designed to keep you informed about local tastings in your area.

With more than 50 countries to select from, each further categorized to provide regional focus, users of the Local Wine Events service will never miss an opportunity to sample what’s on offer.

Using the current version of Viigo, adding the Local Wine Events service is a quick and easy process.

From the Viigo homepage enter the Local Interest module.

Next, click on “Add Channel”, then Local Wine Events

At this point you can choose the region or regions of interest among the United States, Canada, United Kingdom or International locations (of which there are 46 countries to choose from).

Once you have added the channels, the next time you enter local wine events the feeds will be available for you.

We hope you enjoy Local Wine Events on Viigo!

Team Viigo
Live Well!
