Two new location-enabled mobile/social apps get funding/buzz

Buzzd just got funding from Greycroft Partners and Monitor Ventures. It’s a location-based city guide and social network service for mobile devices. The investment amount was not disclosed.

BrightKite, though not being shown at Web 2.0 Expo, is getting lots of buzz. From WebWare: “It’s a microblogging tool the likes of Twitter, Pownce, et al with some handy location-based features. What’s the point you ask? It’s got a whole lot more social networking built-in from the start. It also shares one of the things that made Meetro and Twinkle so cool, by letting you see what people around you are doing.”
