Yahoo has
added Digg-style
functionality to its site that will pinpoint popular news stories and blog posts
from across the internet based on user votes and search patterns.
The
Yahoo
Buzz extension counts the 'BuzzScore' for news stories, videos, images and
blog posts. Content with the most votes is then considered for placement on
Yahoo.com.
The current beta version features content from fewer than 100 publishers, but
Yahoo plans to open the site to all interested parties.
"Yahoo Buzz builds on the recent success of the home page of Yahoo, and
improves consumers' favourite online starting point by combining popular stories
with the wisdom of real people to determine what is most engaging and relevant,
" said Yahoo vice president Tapan Bhat.
