Yahoo Buzz Is Quite Delicious
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to the RSS feed for this blog. Or you can subscribe to a combined news feed for all SMM publications. Thanks for visiting!
As Stephen Wilson tells us, Yahoo Buzz is now open to everyone. Yahoo Buzz is a way of telling the world about websites that have particularly delighted you and the Buzz Log gives added visibility to What’s hot on Yahoo! Buzz™.
Yahoo Buzz is a site where you can vote in a similar way to Digg, although it is likely that there will be more editorial control.
As Darren Rowse explains, Yahoo Buzz will appeal to a certain type of audience and reader and will therefore present different opportunities to different publishers.
The burgeoning expansion of social media websites is almost head spinning. Another popular website with some similarities is del.icio.us or as it has recently been transformed into delicious.com. The delicious blog provides some explanations:
Oh happy day — the new Delicious is here
The new Delicious
Over the past few days we’ve been transitioning Delicious over to our new platform, quietly starting with RSS feeds and APIs. Today we’re taking the final step and flipping the switch on the new web site: delicious.com.The new Delicious is just like the old del.icio.us, only faster, easier to learn, and hopefully more delightful to use and to look at.
It’s even more head spinning when you realize that both Yahoo Buzz and delicious are owned by Yahoo. As Michael Porter so wisely said, “Of course strategy is hard - it’s about making tough choices.” If Yahoo cannot make up its mind, how are we, the poor consumers, to do so.

I have been using delicious.com quite often, but never used yahoo buzz. But since you are saying such promising reviews about it, I feel I should give it a try too…

Yahoo is giving you choices but both belong to them. Huh! What will the hot new thing be tomorrow? I can wait to see.

I have used delicious as well, and was under impression that it is ideal. I will try yahoo buzz now and get back to you about my experience with it.

Yahoo Buzz seems promising. I actually am a big fan of del.icio.us - or rather delicious.com now for that matter. I like the fact that you can see how many other people recommend the sites!

Seems like an interesting new way of social bookmarking. Currently I find Delicious and Digg a good solutions, but a new system is always worth a try.
Had a quick look, it seems like a reasonable system, although I am unsure whether or not I will be a frequent user.

It's so getting to the point where there are too many bookmarking sites to keep up! I know there are tools to help you submit your stuff, but it takes such a long time!! I suppose with this being something to do with Yahoo, it adds a little weight to the argument whether to use it or not.
Cheers, Dan

After success of all those social media sites, i thought it is enough but it is not. I think there is more to come. I don't know hwy they needed to start such a service in presence of myweb. I think they are almost the one and same thing.

It's getting to the point where you have to just choose a dozen of these sites and stick with them. I's next to impossible to keep up…
