Wait, Technorati WTF isn’t a Digg Clone

Yesterday’s coverage on Technorati WTF proved to be false when Technorati unveiled WTF today. It isn’t a digg clone at all; it’s just a medium to bring the hottest stories around the web. Unlike Digg, WTF doesn’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 friend’s names, or your company (or maybe even your competition!)

Sounds like a big gamble by Technorati, its hard to predict whether such as model would work or not. So many questions remain unanswered; these are just few of them: Who would write stories for them? Why not write the same on your blog?
