Buzzd for BlackBerry Helps Find Nearby Nightlife and Submit Reviews

Buzzd, a location-based service that helps you find out what’s going on around town, has been around for about a year as a WAP site, but now have a dedicated program for BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) now available in the App World. From the app you can search based on preference and location, book events into your native BlackBerry Calendar, add venues to your Contacts, and even provide feedback once you’re there by way of a built in thrill/kill rating system, as well as uploading photos and shooting out twitter messages from within the app. The BlackBerry Partners Fund shot some cash into Buzzd in October, so we’re left wondering about the ultimate revenue model. Considering Loopt is free, it seems unlikely folks would pay for the app, even with an active community supporting it. Venues, however, might be interested in buying into featured promotions if there are enough Buzzd users in their area. Regardless, it’s a slick-looking app – head over to buzzd.com for more info.
