Yahoo Buzz (Yahoo’s Answer To Digg) Goes Public
By Anna Johnson on August 22nd, 2008Buzz, Yahoo’s answer to Digg, is now open to anyone to contribute news stories. Previously, only invited publishers could contribute news to Buzz.
Like Digg, Buzz aims to rank news based on reader popularity i.e. reader “buzz”. Unlike Digg, Buzz reserves the editorial discretion to change headlines (in order to prevent or reduce gaming).
Still, if you contribute news to Digg, you might want to try Buzz as well.
