John had a post yesterday about Digg. I have been waiting for a good time to install my own personal version of Digg on my server. Last night I did it.
I used a set of PHP scripts called Pligg. It requires MySQL and takes five minutes to setup.
Pligg works just like Digg. Anyone (with a verified account) can post a link to a news article. Other people can “digg” the article. Pligg has changed the verbiage to “vote” probably to avoid a lawsuit from Digg. At any rate, the articles with the most votes make it to the front page.
See what you think.
