- nunbot, on 10/12/2007, -23/+110it will truly be the gayest site ever!
How are you going to compete with myspace in the chick department? - calebdesu, on 10/12/2007, -7/+92I've got some l33t QBASIC skillz, if you're interested in doing it in QBASIC.
- petereality, on 10/15/2007, -11/+92im very interested, and can supply php/mysql/css/js/design
- crawfishsoul, on 10/12/2007, -6/+65whoever dugg boomshakalakaka down really doesn't get the philosophy of open source. Maybe boom could do some debugging. Don't discourage people that may not have the skills to actually develop a project. Help is help and discouraging the community from helping in whatever way only hurts open-source projects.
We need more of boom's attitude on the Internet, the world for that matter.
edit: and dougless' comment, while humorous, doesn't help either. - HMTKSteve, on 10/12/2007, -10/+68So, has Kevin had his lawyers send a cease and desist letter yet for using his trademarked name in your domain?
- boomshakalaka, on 10/12/2007, -3/+57i don't have any skills to offer, but i am interested in this as well. i will do whatever promotion i can.
- Egotrippin, on 10/12/2007, -3/+53Duggspace is not exactly the best name I've ever heard, but I do like the idea. But honestly I want to see Digg become a portal. I mean if they could add a Email service (YourDiggName@Digg.com), and a little more sprucing on the User Profile, I would hardly have to leave DIGG.
- troydoogle7, on 10/12/2007, -7/+49I predict you suddenly realise that you have no financial interest in it and will lose interest/forget about it in 7 hours
- ScottMaximus1, on 10/12/2007, -3/+42I only write in Assembly
Are you writing it in Assembly? - PsychoPNut, on 10/12/2007, -3/+39@Koncept I thought it was open scource?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -15/+49@nunbot
Yeah, totally homosexual.
There will be gay porn all over the site. Good call. - SystmBetatester, on 10/12/2007, -6/+39as long as it pisses off myspace fags, and raises out collaberative knowledge. im for it.
- Kosterfield, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33Facebook anyone?
- Bamborzled, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28@Four4TeenPaste
Digg was created before Shoutwire. - mikev, on 10/12/2007, -12/+38What's the purpose? There are so many web services for photos, blogging, and profiles that even a diggspace wouldn't be able to compete...
- standsolid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25the real challenge is if the 13-year-old boys on digg can convince the 13-year-old girls on myspace to use their service.
The programming of the site is pretty trivial. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27i'd help - php / asp / cgi / javascript / delphi if needed
but I'd expect 1) the service to be free and 2) either Not for Profit or that Profits from it go to a charity or something. - Brutis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24so who gets the money when the site sells?
- inarguable, on 10/12/2007, -6/+28uh,no. It cant. Digg users have the ability to squelch viewpoints by burying comments that disagree with the prevailing viewpoint, whether the prevailing viewpoint is factually accurate or not. That is Digg's greatest flaw. Of course, you wont get to read this comment, because in 3...2...1 it is probably gonna be buried deeper than Hoffa.
- robbh66, on 10/12/2007, -16/+38Second.
- Xeppo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+24Ummm... it's more like Shoutwire is just another site like Digg. Digg was revolutionary.
- paulmdx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23Koncept, can you tell us a bit more about it? Design, technologies used, etc?
- Teaboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20Ironic user name you have there.
- JJP0223, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19@Cronus6
"I've always wondered where exactly the "social" is in "social news site""
The "social" aspect would be where users submit content to be viewed and reviewed by others. Then, those reading get to judge if they liked or disliked the article. That's social if you ask me. - cornyflake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Congratulations, you're above average.

- Nicklogan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17why would anybody want to make a website like myspace? why?
- sse1281, on 10/12/2007, -5/+19If it has "Kevin Rose" or "Digg" in the article its automatic front page material.
- TonyCubed, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16Socialising websites isn't a bad thing.
- barryiggins, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14To be the next MySpace, you'd have to pay their top pedophiles to come join duggspace.
- r2700, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13DuggSpace is just the temporary name - digg™ is a trademark of digg.com; duggspace.com is neither affiliated with nor would have existed without digg.com, nor will it profit directly at all, ever, from that name. Otherwise I'd probably get eaten by what must now be well compensated Digg(tm) lawyers =)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12why do people still use myspace when facebook exists?
myspace: slow, works half the time, errors, cluttered as hell, bloated as your mom on her period, for some reason it always thinks everyone is Australian, spammmmmmmmm, unknown friend requests, i could go on on and on and on!
facebook: clean, fast, streamlined, elegant, no errors, waaaaay more features, unlimited photos, albums, no ***** music on everyones profile, standard profile designs, no spam, very few ads, infinately easier to find people you know, etc.
baffles me. - gab00n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Don't fall for this ***** scam, he'll get you to do all the work and when it is done he'll cut you off and take it all for himself.
- Rhelim, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13One MySpace is bad enough.
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13ZOMG! Open source grammar! Now, that is what I call Digg user collaboration!
/sarcasm - geoffreyireland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12First thing you need to do since this is on the frontpage is to buy a new server.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11I promise to invest seed money if the idea becomes a reality and has some potential. I do not mean this as a joke, since my work currently requires managing and consulting with over 300 other websites. However, i think duggspace.com is probably not a good domain name for a new startup since it won't get its own image and traction, and will probably be viewed as a joke. Serious attempts require serious image-making. I think.

I agree, I've always wondered where exactly the "social" is in "social news site".
The entire "friend" system here is, in my opinion, rather pointless as it is now.
Of course, I've also thought for a long time that the comment system would be better if it operated a little more like a "forum" as well. - Kazanoe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I'd like to point out that the users of digg could never, ever, create something as horrible as myspace.
- PsychoPNut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10me!
I get all 10 bucks! - ColdShoulder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I love digg's profanity filter. It makes otherwise ho hum comments so much more interesting.
"If it was created I'd say you could suck my ***** - I'm not joining another ***** social site, there are too ***** many.
*****, *****, *****, *****, rotflcopter." - PsychoPNut, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12@calebdesu
word - ColdShoulder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Greatest minds? Really? I'm on here, they can't be that great.
- indicas, on 10/12/2007, -8/+17I forsee that business plan of "everyone getting equal pieces of the pie" causing a ***** storm..
- Vizin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Domains are what, $7 at Godaddy right now?
Not everyone depends on their $5 a week allowance to get by. - l3db3tt3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I don't think the point is to rival the big wigs. I think the point would be to get a niche group together.
- d3designs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Step 1: Get a decent web server that can at least host a static html page.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10I agree. They'll get a nice email from digg's lawyers by Monday afternoon.
