FREE! Buzzd now available in the BlackBerry App World, location-based guides on the go

Today buzzd unveiled its free BlackBerry application in the BlackBerry App World.

Buzzd gives BlackBerry users location-based guides making it easy to find a place to eat or grab some drinks, search for local events and more!

buzzd is the premier location-sensitive city guide and social network for your mobile phone. buzzd answers “what’s going on around me right now?™” by delivering up-to-the-minute info on bars, restaurants, concerts and events in a specific set location. buzzd features listings from Flavorpill, Time Out, Citysearch, ZAGAT, Upcoming as well as real-time posts (“buzzes”) from members of the buzzd community. Create a profile, add/invite friends and – if you post a “buzz” – it is sent as a text-message to your nearby friends in the network.

Buzzd also allows you to add events to your BlackBerry Calendar, send updates from buzzd to Twitter and it is fully integrated with your maps application for getting directions and locating a venue. You can also take pictures and post them for other buzzd members to see.

Up till now buzzd was available only through their mobile website. Buzzd does not require GPS because it uses Cell IDs to determine your location, the first application in the BlackBerry App World to do so.
