This morning I was interested to see the thread on Techmeme's homepage about the success so far of Yahoo! Buzz. The RedWriteWeb story provides statistics on traffic from Yahoo! Buzz to some of the publishers involved in the Beta. ReadWriteWeb claims that Yahoo! Buzz "spells trouble for Digg". What do the figures show?

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."
