I inadvertently clicked on buzz up in Yahoo News and a bunch of options were presented of which I have no interest in spending a nano second on. I am,however very interested in the Communities take on all this "social network stuff" of which I have no clue.
The best of the web – chosen by you.
The buzz can be about anything — from breaking stories on major news to viral videos on personal blogs.
Instead of editors, people like you submit the stories and "buzz up" the best ones.
How it works:
First, we determine the most popular topics that people are searching for on Yahoo!.
Then, we showcase the most popular stories within those topics, based on activities like voting, commenting, and emailing stories to friends.
Stories with most Buzz may be published on the Yahoo! home page — you can impact what millions will see on Yahoo!.
