Here's an addition to make the website more interesting. Previous restriction to allow only posts from blogspot.com, wordpress.com and typepad.com has been removed. You can now submit hot Technology news from any website or self-hosted blog, discuss about them with others and vote. But still the focus will be on blogs and so, these news articles will be separated from blog posts and shown in the "Tech Vibes" section. Here are some articles that I have submitted to start with.

This week's hot posts from bVibes

Important announcements about bvibes
With 50 users and 60 links, the website is growing at a healthy pace. For those who have joined bvibes.com, I have two announcements:
1. Now you can display a button in your blog so that your regular readers and visitors can vote for your post. I have enabled anonymous voting (with IP address check) so that they don't need an account to vote.
2. Based on my poll, some people seem to wonder if voting for others will affect their credits. To avoid any confusion, for now, I have decided to give equal number of credits (5) every week to everyone. So, please remember, no more "proportional" credits.
Adding the button to your blog is very simple. Just copy this piece of code and paste it at the end of the post that you submitted to bVibes. Please remember to replace XXXX with the complete URL of the post (start from http://). Also, it's better to goto Edit HTML tab of the post editor in Blogger before pasting this.
It will show the current number of votes (as shown below) and if the visitor clicks on it, it will take him to the page where he can vote or comment about your post.
Next, I will come up with a feedflare so that all those subscribing to your Feedburner feed can vote directly from their feed readers (thanks to Paula for this great idea).
