Yahoo! Buzz is an extension of Yahoo! that uncovers the most remarkable and timely content from websites across the Internet. We pull in the hottest stories and videos (and more) from a broad assortment of Web publishers throughout the day, and we give you the chance to be an editor by voting (“buzzing”) content up and down (either on Yahoo! Buzz, or on our publisher partner websites), and by submitting it to Buzz in the first place. For each piece of content that you see on Yahoo! Buzz, we develop a ranking. That content’s ranking is based on things like the number of votes it receives on Yahoo! Buzz, the popularity of related search terms on Yahoo! Search, and the number of times that content is shared with friends over email. Higher ranked stories are featured more prominently on the homepage of Buzz and within category pages. The highest ranked Buzz content might be featured on the Yahoo! homepage, the Web’s most popular starting point. Yahoo! created the service in hopes that it would drive larger traffic to their site and would give them an advantage over larger online media companies such as Google or MSN, which are Yahoo!'s largest competitors in terms of search engines that provide services and web features to its customers. Unlike other social networking sites, Buzz allows the publisher to modify the submission.

Very much like Delicious + Digg. Somehow, this feature doesn't make it better. I prefer Delicious or Digg separately.
Eh. So far, I've mostly been annoyed by Yahoo! Buzz, because of stories from there showing up on other recommendation networks. I suppose that that's mostly the fault of people deliciousing and digging something meta instead of the actual content, but still - I haven't found any redeeming qualities, either.
