Buzzd Unveils Location-Based Entertainment Guide For The Blackberry
May 19, 2009 at 08:54 AM EDT
buzzd, a location-based city guide and social network, has launched a native app made for BlackBerry smartphones, which brings many features of its mobile Web version to a native mobile application. The network was the recipient of the first round investments from the BlackBerry Partners Fund (similar to Facebook's fb Fund ) last October. Previously only available via a mobile web browser, buzzd has also launched a companion website (for a computer browser) that offers the same information. buzzd's app answers the question, “What’s going on around me right now?" Buzzd will tell you which bands are playing at local bars, the location of a four-star eatery, which bar is most popular and other similar information. The interface lets the user share information with others on buzzd, so people can setup their own social networks.
