 |  Sizzle or Fizzle - Will Yahoo Users Buzz Up? Today Yahoo opened up their Digg-esque Buzz tool to allow links to any site. Previously, only about 400 publishers were included in the service (100 when it first launched). By allowing anyone to post to Buzz, Yahoo is possibly gaining better content, but also creating opportunities for gaming. Digg has created a complex algorithm to attempt to combat spammers. The prize for making a link popular on Digg is a trip to its homepage, ensuring oodles of traffic for the linked site. Those that make it atop Buzz could find themselves with a real treat: a prime spot on the Yahoo home page. As Crocodile Dundee might say, “That’s not traffic, this is traffic.” http://www.webmonkey.com/blog/Sizzle...Users_Buzz_Up_ |
