The Buzz
When perusing "The Buzz" this morning for some interesting blogs (other than my friends'), I found I'm on it with one post that received 19 comments.
But I've already had three other posts and one of them has 25 comments, yet that is not listed in "The Buzz".
Does that have anything to do with how often "The Buzz" is updated?
Yes, I know it's a top-secret formula and I'm not asking you to reveal it - but it's strange and irritating so see one post on the list and another with more comments NOT.

I meant to type "TO see"

The Buzz isn't top secret, you're thinking of the Featured blogs. 
The Buzz is simply a list of the posts with the most comments over the last seven days (these comments must be by several users, not just a big conversation between two or three users).
However, in order to prevent it from being dominated by one or two blogs/users, a user can only have one entry present in The Buzz at any one time. If that user has more than one entry that qualifies, one is selected randomly from the ones that qualify.

The first page of The Buzz.
Usksider - two entries.
SeaideMan - two entries.
Several entries - eight and nine days old.

You're 100% right, things were changed slightly yesterday.
Changes are as follows:
- Now there can be more than one entry from a blogger, but only if they are in different blogs. A blog can only have one entry there
- Entries can stay in The Buzz for up to ten days
- There are now only five pages in The Buzz
- If you have a post with 30 comments but only 5 different comment authors and a post with 25 comments but 10 different authors, the post with more authors will appear, even though it has fewer comments.
Hope this clears things up!

P.S. Your explanation’s crystal clear. Thank you!

Surely a Buzz loses its buzz and fizzles out long before 10 days is up?
In my opinion, the system doesn't seem to be responsive quick enough to warrant the title "The Buzz"
If you know what I mean?
