Voting (“buzzing” content up or down) is a way for you to tell the world what you think is interesting. Your vote influences a piece of content’s ranking on Buzz, potentially moving it higher or lower on the Yahoo! Buzz home page. Content with the highest ranking may be featured on the Yahoo! homepage. Your voice could carry all the way to the Web’s most popular starting point!

If you are the first person to "Buzz up" a story, you should be proud! We will display your display name and avatar next to that story on Buzz.

If you prefer to not have your name appear on Buzz, please visit the My Activity page and uncheck the box that says "My Buzz activity is public on Buzz". To learn more about making changes to your privacy settings, please click here.
