Nope. People like you influence which stories make it to the top of Yahoo! Buzz.

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

That said, we do have folks monitoring Yahoo! Buzz to ensure that submitted stories are properly categorized and do not contain inappropriate content. Content that violates our Terms of Service will be removed by our site monitors.

We also have members of our team comb through all the top stories on Yahoo! Buzz and select items to appear on the Yahoo! homepage. Vote today on a story, and you could help send it along to the Web’s most popular starting point!
