First up I don't like the name. They obviously could not get hold of bluedot.com which btw is a cruise, marine and travel and event company (would not load for me). The topics and stuff is an extension of their topic pages or categories. I think the voting thing is a bit of a wank, plus I don't think that is the way that people used BlueDot. No one is going to do much voting, especially if you use the FF extension. I liked the fact that they did not trash everyone's data. Other than that meh. I am yet to see what I think in detail, but it seems ok for now. Oh, and I am glad it was not a toolbar :) That would have lost some creed with me and I would have been back to delicious. @Jeff the short answer is that I am undecided.
