Why Yahoo! Buzz is a Brilliant Idea

Buzz might be something more than a lame attempt at socially driven news (without the social elements).

via TechCrunch by Erick Schonfeld on February 27, 2008
Why can’t brothers and sisters just get along? As I noted earlier this month, eBay’s free classifieds site Kijiji is coming on strong since its launch in the U.S. last summer. Of course, eBay owns 25 percent of Craigslist, but since the other 75 percent is not for sale, eBay is putting all of its eggs into Kijiji and taking Craigslist head on.
