Enterprise Digg Application

by Ken Yarmosh | June 14, 2006 | Posted in: News

Digg allows its members to vote or “digg” interesting stories, with the top “dug” stories rising to the top. It’s a very geeky site right now, with most home page articles being tech focused.

There are many Digg-clones - and they mainly aim to do the same thing.

But the technology behind Digg could be used in a variety of ways, outside of mimicking another Digg clone site. I’m wondering if anyone knows of any software available that could replicate what Digg does. The Rojo Mojo was recently applied to power Nooz - so I could easily see someone developing a platform to replicate a Digg environment.

Let me know if you’ve developed anything like that or know of anyone who has or is in the process of doing so.

    I was going to recommend Pligg as well. I’ve never used it, but anytime someone mentions a Digg clone it gets brought up.

    I’d look for an application of this type of technology to help corporations build and rank networks of internal experts:

    CrispyNews.com lets users create “digg clones”. As an experiment, I created a CRM-related one: crm.crispynews.com. It’s currently free.

    We’ve built a robust Digg platform in Java and are currently using it to power a funny links site, http://www.eatmyhamster.com.
