Find pizza in bangalore from here !!!!
Burrp has released a widget which allows to embed the burrp search functionality in blog making one to boast of some cool features in there blog. What that means ? Visitors to your site can search for Pizza in Bangalore from your blog and see the results in your blog .
Burrp has rich database for restaurants reviews which can be leveraged in blog by using search widget . Following functionality are there is the widget which I think is useful :
- Auto completion for the areas in the city so for Bangalore Widget (which is running here) if people type in K then they get suggestion for the locality starting with K in the type box.
- Showing the search result in the widget which has phone number of the place , rating and cost of the meal.
- Ability to send the address of the restaurant from the search result as SMS without leaving the blog.
For me down side of the widget is that it is not a wordpress widget in the true sense and require some plumbing but considering this is first version we can expect improvements in future versions.
Try it out here , remember you can search only in Bangalore :

First of all, congrtulations for being one of the first ones to deploy the burrp! local widget. Secondly, many thanks to you for posting the installation instructions and your experience with the widget.
We are continuously improving the widget. We just launched an upgrade that fixes layout issues for blogs allocating just one of the narrow columns to the widget.
Cheers,

Well you can embed the widget in wordpress also by uploading the html containing widget code on googlepages ( I am sure everyone has google account ) and then embed the googlepage html in your wordpress blog as iframe.
Only trick is burrp should give the API key for googlepages .

I just tried out the above approach on my wordpress.com blog, but it doesn’t work. Unfortunately, they also strip out the iframe tag when publishing the page.
