- Improved “buzzdmeter,” which now tracks the most popular venues (aka “buzzing places”) from the aforementioned social networks over the last 6 hours.
- Ability to find Facebook friends and Twitter followers on buzzd as well as to post your buzzd ratings to their Facebook wall and/or Twitter feed.
- New “Feed” section that shows what your friends are up to
- A complete redesign of the application’s interface
- Ability to bookmark venues for easy access at some later point (iPhone only)
- Earn real-world rewards like flights, concert tickets and more on “Influential Leaderboard” by broadcasting your ratings of venues to friends (iPhone only)

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.
