Yahoo Buzz - social bookmarking platform

[temi]

There is a new entrant int the social networking scene, its Yahoo! Buzz . Yahoo buzz aims to change the social bookmarking scene, how is yet to be seen.
Its not open to the general public yet because its still in beta stages.

Personally it can "BUZZ OFF!" Yahoo! have entered this area of social bookmarking way to late on as there are all ready well estabished communities out there.

Well, you cannot write them off, after all its Yahoo, you can expect the page to get to at least PR8, if they don't block juice... loads of people will flock to it.

Yes juice is the big puller as temi said, but the biggest majority of takers are not into it for the juice.

 

[Resonate]

Well as it stands there juice is flowing but i dont see it lasting.

Lets wait and see when it opens to the public, its by invitation only at the moment.

I will be spending some time with this for sure!

After Microsoft buys Yahoo I believe that there will be some big enhancements to their system!

The beauty of Yahoo Buzz is if you're article is good enough, it will get displayed on Yahoo.com.

I signed up to the program, just waiting to be accepted now.

It almost brought down TechCrunch last month and they only had a little mention. So no, you can't write of Buzz at all. Quite the opposite in fact.

Even if they do block the links, it certainly sets a good stage to become an authority and established in your field.

Hope you have a good bandwidth amount

Temi,

I just signed up to and like you I am logged into Buzz. Under "Top Searches" are you seeing the box named "What's all the Buzz about?"

If so in small lettering there is a link saying "Publishers: Publish your content on Buzz!"

Are you seeing that too?

I'm thinking although I am signed into Buzz I don't think I can publish content yet. They seem to be still collating emails.

Temi this thing was available from a long time but we are unable to publish our stories over there!!

Are you able to publish your story over there?? As I am not able to do it.

I have attached the screen shot of what i mean to say.

You are quite right, one cannot publish just yet
