Yahoo! Buzz is an extension of Yahoo! that uncovers the most remarkable and timely content from websites across the Internet. We pull in the hottest stories and videos (and more) from a broad assortment of Web publishers throughout the day, and we give you the chance to be an editor by voting (“buzzing”) content up and down (either on Yahoo! Buzz, or on our publisher partner websites).

For each piece of content that you see on Yahoo! Buzz, we develop a ranking. That content’s ranking is based on things like the number of votes it receives on Yahoo! Buzz, the popularity of related search terms on Yahoo! Search, and the number of times that content is shared with friends over email. Higher ranked stories are featured more prominently on the homepage of Buzz and within category pages.

The highest ranked Buzz content might be featured on the Yahoo! homepage, the Web’s most popular starting point.
