The Technorati parser is much too picky – this appears for [fensi] but not [google fensi], even though "google fensi" is contained in the WTF's title...

Both technorati and digg can be easy money spamed. Give the rights to the hand of the Users. So risky. Like a joke.

I once talk with a friend. We agree to money spam "google" need 700 million USD. but for Digg and Techorati, so cheap. Will be 50000USD enough.

Sorry, not 700 million, it should be 7 million.

How would you spam Google for $7 million Xiaowan?

If you examine the model, WTF is really far more like Urban Dictionary than Digg (and UD predates Digg by 5 years). WTF lets people explain popular search terms just as UD lets people define popular lingo. People can then vote for their favorite explanations. This model is in stark contrast to threaded comment models, where what you have is basically a conversational thread.
