Buzzd, a great little Digg-style location-conscious mobile application for venues and events, has found its way to the iPhone. Buzzd lets you rate up, rate down, comment and upload pictures on where you’re spending your nightlife. By plugging into the GPS, you can quickly find out what’s happening in your vicinity, and local search helps you find just the right place. I tried the BlackBerry version for a little while, and I found that a lot depends on there being an active community submitting ratings, and since it was still relatively new to Canada (not to mention the fact that Ottawa is pretty quiet to begin with), there wasn’t much to run with However, if you’re in a big metropolitain area, go ahead and download it for free from the iTunes App Store.

Simon Sage
Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement. With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
