Sunnyvale, Calif. - Yahoo (NASD: YHOO) on Tuesday introduced Buzz, a news aggregation feature for its homepage that highlights news stories, images, videos, blog posts or other content that Yahoo users have voted for as the most important of the moment. The service is similar to existing offerings such as Digg or Reddit. The beta version of Buzz includes content from nearly 100 publishers; stories on Yahoo Buzz that receive the most votes from users will also be "submitted to Yahoo.com's editors for possible coverage on the Yahoo homepage."
