Yahoo! Buzz wants everyone to get buzzed

August 20, 2008 · Comments 

Great news for the Pinoy blogosphere! Yahoo!’s very own social news site, Yahoo! Buzz, finally opens its arms to everyone. Launched last February of this year, Buzz was initially limited to a number of invited publishers who can post articles in Buzz and benefit from a tremendous surge in traffic when it gets pushed to Yahoo!’s home page.

Not anymore, starting today, Yahoo! Buzz will let anyone with an interesting story to share be able to submit a link and have the opportunity to get buzzed by the Yahoo! community. It was last July when Buzz dropped a hint to everyone through email that they will be opening their doors soon. Apparently it’s sooner than later as now, all of us can benefit from the service.

To anyone who appreciates the importance of social media, this is perfect timing. We all know how hard it is to penetrate established social news sites like Digg and Reddit. With Yahoo! Buzz opening up, it helps level the playing field and gives us more options to spread our stories and discover other compelling content that interests us. Click now and submit your story. :)

We all have these unique and weird personal taste of our favorite breakfast meal, lunch express food, our own sober taste of meal that is. Some of us prefer spicy delicacies, others carve for juicy and sweet ones. Most of us hunger for our own personal taste at a mouthful level when it comes to personal food taste.

I was in in my elementary school, at 6th grade hearing the news that a failing satellite is currently falling and could probably fall into our area. I was so alarmed and confused then, thinking how could a man-made high-tech space wagon successfully launched away from earth’s gravitational force and ejected itself into earth’s atmosphere and suddenly failed to carefully hover down to earth’s human soil? And so, I skipped out that school day and immediately went back home without telling my teacher back then.

Simply speaking, technology had brought us far from humans have ever imagined. We have touched down our very own satellite which we called moon, we have explored planet Mars and we have even gone farther than Pluto and discovered more planets besides from the named 9 planets of our own solar system. Human technology had jumped us ahead of our time and decades, in a grander scale that is.

Yes, technology had done this, did that, been there, covered that, and um dit dat dot com. Plaks! What about our very own and little-minding personal grunchy taste like our favorite breakfast meals or lunch foods. When could our current technology bring our hunger to a higher level of satisfaction and convenience, than of eating and having a taste of our favorite food?

Written by VeRTiTo · VeRTiTO likes Beer and Linux very much. The three of them dwell along like a good marriage relationship components. When Linux does some shortcomings, Beer spice him up and relax him down a little, when Beer relaxes him down too much, Linux inspires and hacks him up so he goes back on his feet. When the other one is missing, it's alienating and boring. When you combine the three of them, now that is a human thing. Are you? Oh, ilovetux.com is only one of his newest craziness.
