Digg , that combines the features ofsocial bookmarking and syndication through a user interface that allows editorial control. Users can be allowed to publish their own news stories, and link to their own or another person's site that links to a full story of the information, therefore driving traffic to that person's website and creating a larger market for sites that research and publish their own news articles and stories, such asCNN or smaller, privately owned websites.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 asGoogle orMSN , which are Yahoo!'s largest competitors in terms ofsearch engine s that provide services and web features to its customers. Unlike other social networking sites, Buzz allows the publisher to modify the submission. [cite news|url=http://buzz.yahoo.com/submit/|title=Submit a Story|publisher=Yahoo Buzz]ee also
