Yahoo Buzz: An Evening Social Media Experiment

by Travis Prinzi on August 19, 2008

Update:  Just thought I’d fill you in on the experiment – the post that we buzzed made it to the top page on Yahoo! Buzz entertainment page, and it’s currently still there.  If you haven’t buzzed yet, go for it!  Maybe we can get it to the main page.

One of the blogs I regularly follow, Problogger, noted today that Yahoo! Buzz went public today.  Problogger notes that Yahoo! Buzz will probably neither be the most successful social media outlet ever, nor will it fade into obscurity.  Since I have no fresh Potter stories at the moment (not wanting to talk about naked Radcliffe like the rest of the world), I thought we’d play a little social media game tonight: All Hog’s Head fans who have any form of Yahoo! account – let’s submit a Hog’s Head story to Yahoo! Buzz tonight and see how well it works.  I’ll take this post down after the next couple hours.  

This is just an experiment.

So here’s what you have to do – it’s very simple:  Click on this link, see the story at the top (which is a story from The Hog’s Head), and click on “Buzz Up.”  That’s it!

Let’s see what happens!
