Buzzd – A location-based city guide and social network company has developed a new mobile, web-based application for BlackBerry smart phones. The application is also available from BlackBerry App World storefront. This application which is free of cost ensures pretty good information about the surroundings of the person using it. He/She is informed about the different type of places around him/her.

Nihal Mehta, chief executive and co-founder of Buzzd, wanted to concentrate more on the low cost products of the company as it would draw more number of customers even from an average economy.

Using CellID (superior to GPS in many ways for the end user), this application lists out the different places in categories like; Eat, Play, Meet, etc. Other buzzd users can share their remarks and comments about a particular place listed in the application. For example, a person who has visited a restaurant can share his comments about the place to all the other buzzd users in the vicinity. Buzzd provides events feed with location, description, pricing and real time updated review from other buzzd users. In addition to great content, the application has a slick UI and Twitter integration, so your real time reviews can be broadcast to your Twitter stream.

You can also add events and to BlackBerry Calendar and venues to BlackBerry Contacts. Photo buzzing is another feature in this application which allows you to tag photos from the camera to events or venues. It has a database of more than 1.5 million venues and over 50,000 events per month across US, UK, Canada.

As an application funded by the BlackBerry Partners Fund, buzzd is sure to become the leading local activity finder in the new BlackBerry AppWorld. The company has a decent number of partners to power its search directories. City search, Time Out, MyOpenBar, last.fm, Clubvibes, Upcoming.org and Flavorpill are a few of its reliable partners. Buzzd also helps finding and messaging friends via text messages. This helps the user to get quick reviews about places where he/she might be interested in visiting.

This application is compatible with BlackBerry OS 4.2 and higher (including the BlackBerry Pearl and BlackBerry Curve series, as well as the BlackBerry Storm and BlackBerry Bold smart phones)

Buzzd unlike all the other applications with its unique mixture of content is absolutely free, while other applications like Zagat’s have only one source of content directory and costs $20!
