Thanks for the info Dan. I know Zagat and Buzzd have a contract so I assumed they were connected. I guess assumption is the mother of all….

You’re 0 for 2. There is no connection between ZAGAT.mobi and BuzzD. Zagat Buzz is the name of Zagat’s city blogs: http://www.zagat.com/buzz. These blogs are now available on the mobile site as well.

I wondered how they knew that. I didnt even think that they just defaulted to New York.

Ronen, I don’t think it can detect your location based on IP since all Blackberry users are “cloaked” with Canadian IP numbers. I opened the site and it had New York selected by default. You live in NYC. Maybe you saw NYC selected and assumed there was some detection going on.
