Yahoo! Buzz, A Digg Clone?

Categories: News

Written By: Rodel

The company has now launched “Yahoo! Buzz“, a service whose purpose is to create a hub for user-selected content from across the Web, and rank this content basis the popularity.
This is how it works: any story that reaches Yahoo! Buzz would be based on its Buzz Score; this being the number of times the story has been voted for by users.

There would be “Buzz Up” buttons placed next to articles and other content, which when clicked upon would generate a particular article’s Buzz Score. Yahoo! claims more than a hundred key news sites have agreed to position the Yahoo! “Buzz Up” buttons next to their content, including the Wall Street Journal.

But the downside of this initiative? Yahoo! will have the ultimate right to decide which articles stay on its main page. Now thats ridiculous! You can’t control us! You can’t own us! Digg rules!
