I interrupt this Friday to bring you what I was tinkering on most of the night - Researcher DIGG. Researcher is a Swedish advertising/planning/strategy blog that's been around for a long time, but its founder Niclas is finding less and less time to spend there. I suggested that I'd make a Digg-clone + blog, and he (SUCKER) let me have at it. Now, any Swedish net-head (it helps if you know the language) can sign in and post links to the upcoming page - if they get enough votes from other users, they end up on the front page.
I know, it's not the prettiest at the moment, but it works, so bite me. Also, I managed to import every post Niclas has made since 2003 to it, and keep the URL's they were posted to (like this one) intact, so *raspberry*. I was originally working on this dealio to make Adland a digg-clone, but then jesus, this place is so big it gives me a headache already. ;9
A digg clone? so it works like DIGG does, and it's a blog? Yeah, I don't think that would work on adland, there's already marketing-type digg clones that nobody uses around anyway. You need a decent amount of active people to make it work.
