This is the Buzz Module
Display the latest Buzz on your lens
What is Buzz? The best of the web - chosen by you.
The buzz can be about anything - from breaking stories on major news to viral videos on personal blogs.
Instead of editors, people like you submit the stories and "buzz up" the best ones.
How it works.
First, we determine the most popular topics that people are searching for on Yahoo!.
Then, we showcase the most popular stories within those topics, based on activities like voting, commenting, and emailing stories to friends.
Stories with most Buzz may be published on the Yahoo! home page - you can impact what millions will see on Yahoo!.. (excerpt taken from the About page on Buzz)
Choose how many headlines you want to show, how you want to show them and how frequently you want the module updated. It's that easy!!!
