It appears that the new/updated yahoo buzz will launch tomorrow and without several web 2.0 features. It is also noted that the new yahoo! site will have just three months to prove it's worth. If the site doesn't meet Yahoo's marketing objectives and profitability it will be shut down.

Yahoo buzz is being coined as the "Digg Killer". I say that it will have do a lot in a very short time to even come close to competing with Digg. Yahoo buzz is to be a revamp of the current buzz.yahoo.com site. All I can say is good luck to Yahoo with the re-launch of Yahoo buzz.

I search for an Alexa graph for "buzz.yahoo.com", it would only display yahoo.com traffic and the "Where people go on Yahoo.com" did not list Yahoo buzz at all.

Note that Mail, Search and Yahoo 360 are the most visited destinations on the Yahoo.com domain.

I personally think that three months is too short for a new or even updated site of any kind to show it's worth. I hate to say it but it appears that Yahoo! is about to shoot itself in the foot (again).
