Update : Click On the Image and see whos there !!
“Yahoo! has launched Yahoo Buzz”. At first, this news did not impress me. The website also looked almost same as any other Yahoo! service. After sometime, I was able to figure out what this Buzz is all about. It sounds almost similar to digg.com. Publishers submit content to the site, users vote for it.
Did you like it ? Well, yes !! I do not know why, but I liked it and I am spending little more time on it. Why … if you ask that question again, I have no other choice but to think and think and give you some …
I like Yahoo! Buzz because …..
I am quite happy with the way yahoo collects and organizes the content from the web. So there is a lot of editorial work being done at Yahoo!’s content team.
Yahoo! search is also involved in this. It can put something on to buzz, when something becomes popular on search. So you get to know what people are looking for. These search terms are updated on a hourly basis.
You do not need to sign up for a buzz account. Just need to sign in using your Yahoo! Id if you have one.
I liked the layout and the user interface of the website
Yahoo! will soon allow me to submit my blog entries too ( well, you just need to wait for that feature .. whats the easy way to do this ? subscribe to my feed lol )
Now, go ahead and check out Yahoo! Buzz and come back here to post your comments. !!
Update : Good news for those who are on Wordpress.com, featured posts from wordpress.com homepage are appearing on Buzz, so don’t be shocked if you see a huge traffic from yahoo someday …

Nice post, however, we won’t be able to make it to Yahoo Buzz….reason, it only accepts those publishers who have YPN account and YPN is open for US based publishers only.

HEy Dinsan, Thanks for updating the pic
So sweet of you. I’m getting lots of traffic from Buzz. People seem to be using it quite a lot. I’ve never received so many hits even from Digg/Stumbleupon/Reddit.
