I've been playing around with this Pligg CMS (basically a Digg clone), and I decided to put one up in a music niche. I've read about all the hassles with spammers, and such trying to keep a clean bookmarking site, but I decided to see for myself.
I am still configuring things, but, I would appreciate a few people to test it out..basically just create a profile, and submit/bookmark some articles so I can see how it functions with actual people using it.
If you participate, I would ask that you stay within the niche (Music, Movies, Electronics)
It works pretty much like Digg, Mixx, and all the others but it does do a few things differently.
1) You can submit an article without having a referring URL.(up to 500 words)
2) It's compatible with most major video sites, so you only need to submit the URL of the video and it will play within the site. Supported sites are:
# cbsnews.com
# cnn.com
# colbertnation.com
# collegehumor.com
# comedycentral.com
# guba.com
# jumpcut.com
# liveleak.com
# livevideo.com
# metacafe.com
# putfile.com
# reuters.com
# revver.com
# spike.com
# thedailyshow.com
# thenewsroom.com
# vbox7.com
# vids.myspace.com
# video.google.com
# vimeo.com
# veoh.com
# youtube.com
3) You can submit both an article or link to an article, and a video with the same submission.
4) You can upload an MP3 with your submission, although in the future this will be limited to approved profiles only to keep down on infringement.
5) You can upload an image from your computer with your submissions.
Categories are pretty basic: Top 40, Rock, Pop, Dance, Jazz, Indie, Rap and Hip Hop, R and B, Movies, Electronics, and World Music....anything within those are welcome : Reviews, Releases, Editorials, Celebrity Gossip, Music Videos, and just about any and all other information that you want to share.
Keep it clean, no overtly profane language, no linking to P2P, Rapidshare, or otherwise copyright infringing download sites, and no direct affiliate linking.
Please let me know about an glitches, or suggestions for improvement.
