[...] In an even smaller nutshell, they’re a human-edited news aggregator. No official word as to how The Personal Bee will be integrated with Technorati, but I would imagine it would help bolster the recently launched WTF tool. [...]

I think it adds a different dynamic to Technorati, expanding it’s service. I’m kinda mad of the name they chose; I was going to use that acronym for a section of my site, but it obviously was going to stand for something else (WTF!)

Good question. I guess they figured that allowing you to simply vote-up (or down) existing blog posts, would be open to more abuse? Dunno.

Maybe they’re trying to make it a little more like Digg, you need to submit the story first.

To be honest I don’t really get it. So this is just a way to comment on tags/search phrases and if voted enough your comment ends up on that search page?

What is the value in that? Now if we could vote on blog posts on the subject, I could see that as a value so the best posts rise to the top.
