<p>BuzzFeed announced its next fully staffed beta will be (<a href="http://www.betabeat.com/2012/01/13/rumors-acquisitions-when-embargoes-break/">as we suspected</a>) tech coverage. The startup has <a href="http://allthingsd.com/20120130/buzzfeed-bulks-up-again-with-a-tech-section-run-by-gizmodos-matt-buchanan/?mod=googlenews">poached again</a> to fill out the new masthead, nabbing <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/mattbuchanan">Matt Buchanan</a> from Gizmodo and <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/jwherrman">John Herrman</a> from Popular Mechanics. The two bloggers are BuzzFeed's lastest in a string of hires from other publications that included Rosie Gray of the Village Voice and Doree Shafrir of RollingStone.com.</p>
<p>Mr. Smith "had admired the work Matt did at Gizmodo and had him and John recommended to me by a long list of people I really trust," he told Betabeat in an email.<!--more--></p>
<p>We wondered just what kind of tech coverage BuzzFeed will pursue. (There's already <a href="http://techmeme.com">so much</a>.)</p>
<p>BuzzFeed editor in chief Ben Smith describes it as "tech for humans." BuzzFeed will report on the companies, personalities and politics of tech to some degree, he said, but for a mainstream audience. "The humans I meant aren't humans who work in the tech industry!" he wrote, and "tech coverage can be a very broad thing."</p>
<p>BuzzFeed will be launching more sections soon, the startup says. Hide your bloggers!</p>
<p>No word on the name for the new tech section. "Stay tuned," Mr. Smith wrote.</p>
