Viigo and the Canadian Football League have teamed up once again to bring you a second season of live scores, schedules, standings, breaking news and even the ability to purchase tickets directly from your BlackBerry smartphone.

The service allows you to see the scores update while the games are being played, view the standings broken down by division and access the league schedule.

You can even purchase tickets directly from your BlackBerry.

There is also a news feed direct from the CFL.ca website that brings you the latest info on what’s happening in the league. And you can post the article to Twitter with one click!

Viigo and the CFL are bringing all the action to your BlackBerry as the 2009 season marches to the grey Cup.

Arrrggoooooss!!! (we had to)

With so many people accessing YouTube movies through Viigo, we decided it was time to make it easier to get more of what you’re after.

The Viigo YouTube service now let’s you choose amongst 23 countries (with an additional worldwide option), each with 15 categories (with the US having one extra category) and 9 channels.

To add new YouTube channels, enter the Entertainment module, select “Add Channel” then “YouTube”. From there, pick you r region(s), category(ies) and channel(s) of choice.

When you return to the YouTube service, all the channels you had selected are now available to you.

Note: you must be running a BB OS 4.5 or higher … and please please please make sure your data plan covers lots of data usage (or use WiFi)  … videos tend to consume lots of bandwidth.

Viigo, raising your rock ‘n’ roll IQ.

Within Viigo there are a number of services that that allow you to make plans to do something, whether it is to buy tickets for a movie, book restaurant reservations, purchase seats to a football game or other. Now Viigo is providing a service that makes it easier for you to get to those events and back home.

Located in the Local Interest module, the service gives Viigo users the ability to call a cab with one click. You will then have the option of having the service recommend the taxicab company best able to serve the call or allow a connection to a preferred cab company. To do this, enter the Call a Taxi channel and click on the top banner (outlined in green in the picture below).

By using the Call a Taxi service you can avoid busy signals when connecting to a taxicab dispatch and find the first available taxicab company dispatch during the busiest of times.

Adding the Call a Taxi service to your Viigo is a two step process. First, from within the Local Interest Module, select Add a Channel. Second, select call a taxi from the menu presented.
