Caffeinehit Labs : Gighit.com Launches As New Virtual Friend For Gig Goers

By Andy | February 9th, 2009 | No Comments

LONDON, 9 February 2009 - Caffeinehit Ltd are proud to announce the launch of new Caffeinehit Labs product Gighit.com, a site offering wiki style content, powerful features and access to a passionate community of fellow music lovers to UK gig goers. The work of designer-turned-entrepreneur Andy Ashburner and stunt coder Alen Mujezinovic, Gighit focuses on enhancing the live music experience, acting as the helpful, knowledgeable friend users will wish they’d always had: recommending bands, reminding them of upcoming gigs and even working hard to find them the cheapest ticket price.

Gighit.com originally launched in 2000, acting as a forerunner to successful sites like iLike and Last FM and existing in various forms until an identity crisis put the project on hiatus in 2006. In 2009 the new Gighit.com is a team player - offering full integration with its successful peers and bringing its own expertise to the party too.

“Gighit makes use of popular social networks like Facebook, Last FM, iLike and Twitter to help users filter their content”, said Andy Ashburner. “By registering with Gighit you can import a vast amount of information you already have on other sites to help you personalise your experience very quickly - add geo-location and matching stuff with your friends and you have a perfect mashup of content.” Looking ahead, Ashburner and Mujezinovic are already building on the existing features with plans to “refine this uber-personalisation with the release of the ‘mojo filter’”.

Gighit.com launches at 4pm GMT on 9th February 2009 - http://www.gighit.com.
