Yahoo Buzz is the Leadership Tool for Social Bookmarking – Sorry Digg, Yahoo Wins
We Digg the New Buzz
Digg this, Yahoo Buzz is the new Digg. Digg, at www.digg.com was the social bookmarking site to end all social bookmarking sites. Not del.ci.ous, not propeller, and not stumbleupon could even come close to the diggity world of Digg.com.
Everything was running smoothly at Digg until Yahoo, which might have the worst top management since Jill Barad ran Mattel, decided that digging wasn’t as cool as buzzing. Now, Yahoo Buzz is the new Digg, and Digg is feeling a lot like Lycos when Google burst onto the scene.
Why will Yahoo Buzz supplant Digg as the newest and coolest social bookmarking site on the Web? It’s simple, really.
Simplicity is the word and simple is Yahoo Buzz. While digging an article can be complicated and full of extra steps, buzzing on Yahoo is a breeze. Truly 90% of the time we tried to Digg something we were inadvertently logged out of Digg.com and we are required to reenter everything and anything to let the world know what we Digg.
With Yahoo Buzz, we never see the bugs and issues common to Digg. Plus, we are in and out in a couple of steps. We truly Digg Yahoo’s Buzz. Sorry, diggers, but we like what makes sense. We are all about efficiencies and Digg just doesn’t have what Yahoo Buzz delivers.
To see if we’re telling the truth, try Digging and Buzzing this article by clicking on the icons below. We know you’ll agree that Digg is Dead and Yahoo Buzz is the best.
True leadership is about what works – Yahoo Buzz works every time and Digg does not. Nice job, Yahoo.

Great points, Chris.
Of course, that’s another reason we like Yahoo Buzz over Digg. We still Digg our own blog posts because we want the SEO benefits, though with so much gaming of Google going on at Digg, we like the integrity of Yahoo Buzz.
For readers interested in the power of social bookmarking and its legitimate benefits of cutting through the crap, Yahoo Buzz will deliver them the most bang for their buck.

The reason Digg is so popular amongst bloggers is the outgoing link in a Digg post is fully followed which means it passes on link juice to the parent blog post.
Yahoo Buzz uses nofollow in the links which tells Google not to pass on any worth in the link to the parent post in Google rankings. It is also not looking to become the spamfest that Digg is either over links.
Yahoo Buzz with it’s nofollow links will never have the value to me that Digg does as a blogger. 200+ plus Diggs will drive me to the top of the search term my blog post targeted. Yahoo Buzz, not so much.
