Virgin adds buzzd entertainment and social network services

Virgin Mobile has added a social network and entertainment service called buzzd, which will provide those services over Virgin’s WAP deck. Dubbed “buzzd on Virgin Mobile,” the service will provide editorial and user information and reviews about venue pricing, location, and other details, such as special events.

“Our community has a healthy appetite for entertainment, fun and what’s happening around them,” stated Ron Faris Director of Brand Development and Partnerships for Virgin Mobile USA. “buzzd on Virgin Mobile is a free and open service that gives our members timely content from the likes of Time Out Magazine while, as usual for Virgin Mobile, respects their privacy with opt-in location.”

Since it’s through Virgin’s mobile Internet platform, it doesn’t appear that there will be any additional charges for buzzd. Then again, just because a price isn’t listed doesn’t mean it’s free. You’ll want to check with Virgin before accessing buzzd. ]]>
