Now you have a complete view of what’s going on in your city.

Thanks ComputerWorld! Writer Logan Kugler named buzzd one of the 10 most essential apps (Travel) for BlackBerry.
Make an unfamiliar town come alive with Buzzd, a free app that acts as a kind of Digg for local attractions. Users vote the places and events they go to up or down and post comments, which are integrated with information from Twitter and other social networks to give an idea of what places people are talking about.
Unlike Urbanspoon, Buzzd’s strong point is not restaurants but nightlife in general — bars, clubs, even concerts and other shows. It’s a great tool for finding somewhere to relax after a hard day’s work or sightseeing, and for getting a taste of the local culture.

During his keynote at the 2010 WES for BlackBerry users conference in Orlando, Fl, Research in Motion’s Mike Kirkup presented buzzd as “a great way to know what’s going on around you in a social context…and join that party.”
A big thank you to MobileBurn writer Todd Haselton. He named buzzd as one his top 10 favorite apps on BlackBerry…
buzzd has a personal tale to it. I was walking around NYC with my girlfriend looking for a wine bar and decided to give Buzzd a whirl. It’s a location-based-service application that looks for restaurants or other things to do in your current area. The app helped us discover one of our favorite wine bars, which we’ve visited time and time again.
