Yahoo Buzz opens up to all Web publishers

Yahoo Buzz is opening its doors to all publishers.

Yahoo said that Web publishers from large players to the niche blogs will be able to add content to Buzz via simple code.

Meanwhile, Yahoo says that any page on the Web can be added to Buzz. That addition means that Web pages that theoretically aren't in a news or blog format can be submitted as notable content.

The update to Buzz, which is being rolled out tonight, may be an interesting experiment. For instance, Buzz today favors select publishers, but beginning tomorrow perhaps research papers, patent filings and Twitter messages could be added.

Buzz, which has given Digg a run for its money, will have more updates "over the next couple of months," says Yahoo.
