It's always great to catch-up with start-ups we have interviewed in the past.  Seeing their progress and how much they have changed in one year is pretty amazing.  So it was a pleasure to catch-up with BuzzVoice (formally Pimp My News) and to see where they have taken their product.  The name isn't the only thing to change from BuzzVoice.  BuzzVoice now gives you more options and more sources to choose from.  You can now choose from over 1,400+ new sites and weblogs, see a story's original text, as well as any video or images that go along with it.

One of my personal favorite features of the app is the daily podcast.  It mashes together your 10 top favorite news feeds into a 10min newscast.  You can expand that by going "Pro" and get a 30min version with a monthly $4 subscription fee (Take it for free 7 day Trial Run).  Another feature that they added is "BuzzRadio".  What BuzzRadio does is allows you to select a topic station of your liking and listen to the most recent top stories from their network of sources.  It is like a Pandora for web news.

As of right now BuzzVoice is offering their iPhone/iPod touch service for half price at $2.  You can get BuzzVoice through the iTunes app store here:
