I'm not that impressed with this, and have to ask WTF, Technorati?

I might join you over at Google. Not a fan of how Technorati removed the option to search by language and authority. I might join you over at Google.

I think it's a good idea theoretically, but its setup doesn't make sense to me. Why should the writer have to designate something as a WTF from the onset, instead of the system just picking up organically which pages are HOT. It's a built-in inefficiency, prone to spamming. And FYI, I created a WTF for the term, "washington dc," and it so far hasn't generated much traffic. Aside from Technorati’s changes in terminology, what do you think of WTF?
