Interesting announcement -
On Tuesday, the New York-based company announced a deal with
MetroPCS, a wireless carrier that offers prepaid, flat-rate mobile
phone plans, to showcase the Buzzd mobile site from the carrier's Web
deck.

Love the beatbox!

Love the concept, its going to need to develop alot of user love to be valuable. If they can leverage a location specific social network play in here they can be huge (see http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/04/09/i-saw-the-future-of-social-network ing-the-other-day/)
