I thought it wasn't happening... This Buzz thing reminds me a lot of the Technorati front page. It's kind of a snapshot of what the web is "thinking about," rather than (specifically) what users are submitting and voting on, like Digg. Anyway, I think these Yahoo cats are a pretty smart bunch. They've got a well-hidden section called <a href="http://next.yahoo.net/" rel="nofollow">next</a>, where their developers post about sweet projects they're working on. My fave is "<a href="http://next.yahoo.net/archives/32/easylistener" rel="nofollow">easy listener</a>," which is an MP3 widget that I've already implemented on <a href="http://kev.elbowroomdesign.com/music/" rel="nofollow">my site</a> and <a href="http://www.ugm.ca/resources/multimedia/Audio.aspx" rel="nofollow">UGM's site</a>.

So, there are plenty of people still using Yahoo! and other search engines. Google only has a little over 65% of the search market.
