Yahoo! Discovered Yahoo! Buzz
A new discovery by Yahoo! called Yahoo! Buzz has been released in Beta. It mainly collects information in the form of consumer votes related to major news, headline stories and interesting videos. The most popular and highly voted stories, videos and news, are then placed on Yahoo.com webpage. The higher the votes and popularity, the more the “Buzz Scores” will be allocated to them and placed accordingly on the homepage of Yahoo.com.
Jeff Weiner, the executive vice president of Yahoo, commented on this, “Yahoo! Buzz is a good example of how we are continuing to innovate and open up our key starting points to third party publishers, making Yahoo! more socially and personally relevant for our half a billion consumers.”
Besides the executive vice president, the Vice President of Yahoo’s network service stated that it is “building on the recent success of the homepage of Yahoo!” and getting better and putting together popular stories from the “wisdom of real people to determine what is most engaging and relevant”.
Yahoo has also re-launched a video site giving it a definition as “far ahead of what most sites are offering”. This launch has taken place despite the news surrounding the Microsoft’s deal.
