Location-based city guide and a mobile social network, buzzd, has announced that their database now has over 1.2 million venues across the United States with reviews, address and other features.
Now users in major U.S. metropolitan areas can answer “What’s going on around me, right now?” from trusted listings, alongside real-time user generated content. In fact, member-inputted venues are a growing segment of the buzzd service and currently account for about 10% of all entries in the database. Rest of the content is provided by buzzd’s partners like CitySearch, Flavorpill, TimeOut New York and Zagat.
Currently, Friday is the biggest day of buzzd usage, followed by Saturday and then Thursday. The most popular cities include New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Miami.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
