Webware : Cool Web apps for everyone - CNET
So Yahoo! has released Buzz to the public today. At first I was skeptical about yet another news article ranking site. Digg in my opinion does a great job of it, so why reinvent the wheel. But after reading Rafe Needleman’s post on Webware, I’m definitely intrigued. According to Webware, Buzz let’s you also submit the story to Digg, Delicious, StumbleUpon and other sites. So that’s definitely intriguing. It’d be need to see if Buzz is actually something worthwile. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
It’s tempting to discount Buzz as just another content voting site, but that misses the point. Publishers (like Webware publisher CNET) cannot afford to ignore Buzz, since popular stories on the service can get placement on the Yahoo page, and that could drive large amounts of traffic back. It’s a big carrot. Competition for Buzz votes is going to be strong.
