Technorati stung by ad-friendly vibe

Jonathan Powell

I can't wait to see the outcome 

This is going to be interesting. I've seen prototype mash-ups of this ilk in the past, but Technorati have the resources to do it far more accurately than anyone who has attempted this so far.

Will we see a Running Man style "popularity index" for celebrities? And how will our A-list celebs feel when years of social climbing amounts to less than some teenager on youtube who got famous by dancing like a tard?

And will they get it working right before google labs churns out something identical?
