The venue-rating application Buzzd has found its way to Android, allowing you to see which restaurants, events, and clubs are getting the most interest in your neighbourhood. GPS integration lets you see what’s happening nearby, and a smooth user interface lets you quickly submit a thumbs up or thumbs down. Buzzd is slightly zippier than Yelp in that you don’t need to spend a lot of time at the desktop to get involved with the community, but it’s not nearly as active. Still, it’s a neat alternative, and updated versions are also available for iPhone and BlackBerry if you don’t happen to be packing a phone with Android 2.0. Find out more at Buzzd, or get downloading in the Market.

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.
