I like what I see. Yahoo! Buzz BETA provides us with a mixture of several web phenomenons which have proven to be popular as well as useful to the internet users worldwide.
What makes this however quite unique is the way that it combines so many of its features and somehow even the half hearted attitude we’ve been used to from Yahoo! now disappears, because this just makes sense:
The best of the best - chosen by people like you.
* The buzz can be about anything - a great story on a major news site, an extraordinary bit from an obscure site, an intriguing video, or a fantastic blog that shouldn’t be missed.
* Instead of editors, people like you determine the top-rated stories.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 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!.
The only problem is that you need to have something where the searches can link to news stories and somehow something like this will not turn into a neverending dead-end where you wind up clicking on a link that says Barack Obama Young and the results of the regular search do not deliver. Same difference on the top right where top searches go back to the regular searches and not the news.
Would be so much smarter to have the top searches go to the news articles about the top search topic.
