Just what I need... another tracker to chase. I guess I can learn to sleep 15 minutes less everyday.

I'm pleased to see there's some balanace between lines of code and human action.
"When something we are tracking gets especially popular, we bring it back to the front page..."
Now, is that done by hand or is it something akin to the likes of Digg? Whereby user action (or in this case, more people talking about it) brings the story back.
As Pete has mentioned, BuzzFeed becomes yet another service to chase .. unless you're big enough that they chase you!
