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 nickname next to that story on Buzz.

If you prefer to not have your name appear on the site, please visit the Activity Page and uncheck the box that says "Allow others to see my Buzz activity page."

If you want to update your nickname as it appears on Buzz, please visit this site and enter a new nickname (then click the "Update" button). If you want to change your avatar (that picture you see next to your nickname), click on your avatar image or go directly to http://avatars.yahoo.com.
