Helio, a joint venture between wireless carrier SK Telecom, and ISP EarthLink, has announced a partnership with Buzzd, a local entertainment service that provides real-time information for bars, clubs and restaurants to Helio members based on their location.
Accessible on all Helio devices via the carriers WAP portal, Buzzd delivers editorially-driven event and venue information, along with up-to-the-minute reviews and ratings from friends and other members of the Buzzd community. The entertainment mobile service currently lists events and venues across all major cities in the US.
In addition, Buzzd enables its subscribers to instantly find, connect with and message friends via SMS and Instant Messaging. Users can also browse and search continuously-updated event feeds, which include pricing, location, and event details, as well as first-hand ratings and reviews posted from the event by other members directly via the mobile platform.
Events and venues are aggregated first through partnerships with Flavorpill, TimeOut New York, and CitySearch. User-generated feedback for real-time activity about venues and events is also layered at the top of event listings throughout the platform. Users can register for the service by clicking the Buzzd link from the Helio deck, or texting JOIN to 96321.
Buzzd is the slick new way to find the best local events and venues for the mobile generation, says Anna Lee, Senior Manager of Content Services at Helio.
