Comments on: Is Yahoo! Buzz A True Social Media Site? http://blog.collactive.com/2008/02/27/is-yahoo-buzz-a-true-social-media-site/ Collactive Blog Fri, 04 Jul 2008 13:20:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Amir Hirsh, President http://blog.collactive.com/2008/02/27/is-yahoo-buzz-a-true-social-media-site/#comment-807 Amir Hirsh, President Mon, 19 May 2008 08:15:53 +0000 http://blog.collactive.com/2008/02/27/is-yahoo-buzz-a-true-social-media-site/#comment-807 Thanks Ted for your comment. I agree with you and it seems Yahoo!'s offering is proving itself to be a very mature service. The exciting latest news about it being the impressive level of activity their readers are showing too (see ReadWriteWeb's <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/yahoo_buzz_talkative_traffic.php" rel="nofollow">Yahoo.com Sends a Ton of Talkative Traffic</a>). I hope you're right about Yahoo! allowing more and more publishers in the future. As I mentioned above, I'd also like to see more inside "network-ing" and socializing – at the end of the day, I believe in the power of the community (especially in such a large one) to guard the quality of the service and keep the bad guys out. a.

Yahoo Buzz seems very mature from the start and changing the angle so that social media mavens are powerless against true quality content. Which is very un-digg-like. I also believe that after the beta phase they will allow more and more publishers, perhaps after a process of evaluating their worthiness. --Ted I will have to throw my 2 cents here and somewhat disagree with the definition of “digg-like” web site.
