Personal Bee’s founder will come in as VP of business development at Technorati; we’re not sure whether the value of the target was in engineering, where Technorati’s been weak. Any significance beyond that? One person familiar with Personal Bee says Technorati — which has in the past offered brand-tracking to marketers, ego-surfing to bloggers and search to ordinary users — plans now to build themed news pages in the style of Techmeme.
Rumors are that Technorati, a blog search tool, has acquired Personal Bee, a tool that lets people create personalized news pages. Valleywag writes that the acquisition could be a sign that Technorati plans to launch “themed news pages” similar to the Techmeme memetracker.

That’s already a pretty crowded field with Techmeme, Megite, Chuquet, BuzzFeed, Buzztracker and others. However, there could still be room for another quality memetracker. (via 901am)
