I surprised myself reading the Yahoo! Buzz quite extensively in the last couple of days - hey, it's hard to stay focus on writing the academic (yerk!) report for my second year project.

And it is a perfect example of the difference between media-driven Yahoo and Stanford geeks Google. Yep, here lies the difference: while the Google zeitgeist is just a page of data in which YOU have to find anything amusing, Yahoo goes the extra mile(s) and makes something funny of it, a nice entertaining article. This is the way I prefer to have it and certainly the way that might have me coming again for more - even without a 2nd year project to escape from.

On the side, just the name, 'Buzz', is also much more media than 'Zeitgeist'. Two different visions...which I guess are complementary - though it's Yahoo 1 - Google 0 on that one.


Funny pieces in the Buzz as of today: 1, 2, 3.
