Yahoo! Buzz Enters Yahoo.com

World to Enhance Web Content
Yahoo! Inc. has set up the new Yahoo! Buzz as part of its Yahoo.com system. Yahoo! Buzz is meant to assist consumers, advertisers and publishers alike by allowing them to read the popular and news-worthy stories that it places on its home page.

Yahoo! Buzz functions by looking at common search input and consumer votes to see which are the most timely and interesting stories plus videos that various websites feature, and then posts these on its home page.

Yahoo! has put up Yahoo! Buzz only in beta form for now. The stories and videos it features can be sourced from the major news agencies plus any niche blogs that exist online. To be accepted as feature placement for Yahoo.com, the best stories have to meet editorial consideration guidelines.


Yahoo! believes that Yahoo! Buzz will help publishers to impart pertinent content plus serve more advertisers and consumers across a more vast and varied audience spectrum. If any member of the public would like to contribute stories sourced from Yahoo! Buzz for any social news sites, Yahoo! will permit it. Such sites could be StumbleUpon, Reddit, Propeller, Facebook, or Digg (among many other possible social news sites.)

The range of content that Yahoo! Buzz can feature may include intriguing blog posts, interesting images or videos, a news-worthy news event, or anything that can catch the attention of the public. The point is to assist publishers in supplying excellent content to the many people who visit Yahoo!

In the end, Yahoo! Buzz is expected to help lay the foundations for a dynamic ecosystem composed of consumers, advertisers and publishers when it is fully-operational and accessible by the public. The Web content when collected, posted and accessed should make the Internet world a richer, more intriguing place for everyone to visit, talk about, and interact about.
