Paul J: No, I did it purposefully, I wanted to express “Why they worked on a Digg Clone instead of indexing sites like Reddit, Digg, Netscape to generate the hot list?”

[...] YesterdayÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s coverage on Technorati WTF proved to be false when Technorati unveiled WTF today. It isnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t a digg clone at all; itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s just a medium to bring the hottest stories around the web. Unlike Digg, WTF doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t link to hot stories, but users write these hot stories themselves and get it voted by others. Stories with most votes rise, others sink. No blogs required! David Sifry, Founder and CEO of Technorati writes: But it isn’t only about explaining the hot searches or buzziest topics going on in the blogosphere at any moment. You can also write a WTF on any topic that someone would search for, and provide information and resources to them about that topic or subject. So, you might want to write a WTF about yourself or your friendÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s names, or your company (or maybe even your competition!) [...]

Technorati very badly needs some magic. they are low on cash (just got funded, maybe the last chance they have)

but i doubt if a digg clone will be that magic.
they need something else.

“But why a digg clone? Why not index sites like Del.icio.us, Reddit or Digg to bring out the hottest stories? ”

Thilak, I think you made a mistake there by stating digg twice. The second sentence should not have digg in it.
