Introducing Yahoo! Buzz
We just launched Yahoo! Buzz - another product designed by the Yahoo! Front Doors user experience team. Buzz is a site that surfaces stories from around the net. Top stories are determined by user votes, searches, and other user activity.
Yahoo! Buzz can highlight anything - a major news event, an intriguing video or image, or an interesting blog post - and instead of editors, real people vote and search for their favorite stories to determine the top rated content from across the Web. Yahoo! Buzz ranks the most popular content of the moment using a unique approach that combines consumer votes with search popularity to give a story a Buzz Score.
Stories with a high Buzz Score can be featured in the Today Module on the Yahoo! Front Page. This opens up the Yahoo! front page to the best content chosen by users as well as traditional content chosen by editors.
We worked very hard on Buzz and we hope you like it. Here’s what ReadWriteWeb had to say about us (view story).
Go to http://buzz.yahoo.com/ and try Yahoo! Buzz for yourself.
