    I think whenever someone says "this is a _____ killer", you can be sure that it's not going to kill anything.

    Just because its launched by Yahoo will have it lot of advantage. Probably not Digg killer, but this would get lot of users for sure.

    Digg I think has the upper hand as it has a loyal following.

    Think again. Yahoo Buzz uses Nofollow links - no SEO value, but may generate some traffic if you can get on the front page.

    Hmm, haven't really heard about this before... might have to check it out (but I do think that Digg will not go down without a fight).

    unless there is some SEO value ( I have limited keywords that I use, so getting on page one not really an option) I see no value. I'll stick to DIGG

    Not going to kill anything, since it is nofollow nobody will care. Good job Yahoo, another failure ;)

    Yahoo has the upper hand as they, you know, actually make a profit from their websites.

    I hope there is a Digg killer. If you didnt realize it, half of the homepage links on Digg are paid for or manipulated. People think that Digg is freemedia, but the content is really controlled by a small handful of people, just like mainstream media.
