Yahoo! Buzz is a place where people just like you can choose the stories and videos that are most remarkable throughout the day.

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. By voting content up or down and by sharing it with friends, you act as editor and influence the content that millions of others will experience.
