I used to love digg in the early days. People point to the v4 revision as being the final nail, but they started wavering and losing the magic literal years before that.
FWIW, Pligg (the digg clone CMS) looks like it's getting a twitter bootstrap upgrade. I've been wanting to roll my own "digg/reddit/HN" for ages. Maybe now's the time.

- Osiris 14y agoI had a pligg site setup a while back for 'sci-fi' news. It was a fairly poorly implemented PHP application at the time and not nearly as clean and neat as Digg. However, that demo shows that they have been putting a lot of work into it since then.
- dreadsword 14y agoFYI: Reddit is open source. You don't have to roll your own, just go git it: https://github.com/reddit/ https://github.com/reddit/
- Angostura 14y agoFWIW, I found Pligg a lot easier to configure and set up when I needed to create a quick intranet news portal last year.
- dreadsword 14y agoFair enough - I've played with Pligg too, and found it really easy. I've never tried to deploy reddit, though. I imagine it to be much more robust & therefore complicated...
- underdown 14y agohey Chris - how ya been? for me the problem with digg started when they took down th leader board. It was what a few months later that "gamification" was the buzz word. Digg just effed that one up.
