Is The New Yahoo Buzz Will Take Over Digg Popularity?
Sunday, February 17th, 2008
Yahoo has launched a new product called Yahoo Buzz and its likely have same motif with our Kevin Rose one -Digg.com.
By the way, Yahoo Buzz has what Digg.com doesn’t. Yahoo Buzz has a subject’s buzz score. It’s the percentage of Yahoo! users searching for that subject on a given day, multiplied by a constant to make the number easier to read. Weekly leaders are the subjects with the greatest average buzz score for a given week.
Buzz index data is collected from Yahoo! search log files. The Yahoo! Buzz Index counts the total number of people searching for specific subjects. Individual users and their searches remain completely anonymous.
If you go to buzz.yahoo.com today you’ll find a page with top search results trends. But if Valleywag is correct, that site will be the future home of Yahoo! Buzz.
