TechZulu has been following along with BuzzVoice for quite some time now.  From release date to the name change, BuzzVoice has been consistently innovating and growing bigger and better with every update.  If you have used BuzzVoice in the past you will notice a substantial speed increase in the app.  According to the developers a 60% speed increase.  BuzzVoice 3.0 has 6 major new features that have been added to make getting news on the go a convenient, safe and customizable experience.   The new product allows users to create:

  • Playlists – Create a top 20 blogs from the 1,600+ sources
  • Custom Streaming player - Stream stories while viewing text, images & video
  • BuzzRadio & Auto-Stream features - Hands free listening for all your content
  • Saved Searches – Automatically track your favorite topics
  • Trending Topics – What’s hot around the world from the web's top sources
  • Batch Select – Lets you have custom playlists of all the stories you want to hear

The Auto-Stream feature has been something I have been waiting to come to the BuzzVoice application for quite some time.  I'm constantly on the go and don't really have time to listen to let alone read many blogs unless I'm on the road or in the gym.  Setting up a few of my favorite sources and hitting the Auto-Stream button alone definitely makes the application worth having.  I no longer have to interrupt my driving or my workout to go to the next story and keep up to date.

Currently there are two versions available, BuzzVoice Lite: Celebrities and BuzzVoice 3. BuzzVoice Lite is free and gives you top celebrity news from around the Internet.  BuzzVoice 3 is currently 50% off for their launch and will cost you $4.99.  It gives you the 1,600 sources and full functionality of the application.

Below are two videos featuring how you can keep up to date with TechZulu using BuzzVoice and a glimpse of all the new features:

If you use BuzzVoice we would love to hear what you think about the new 3.0 update.  What are your favorite new features and when/where do you use BuzzVoice the most.  Let us know in the comments below.



BuzzVoice: Listen To Your Favorite News And Blogs

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:

BuzzVoice TALKS!
