- cybermort, on 10/12/2007, -9/+92DiggEffect is killing the Digg Killer
- frant1c, on 10/12/2007, -4/+86That title is linkbait at its worst. Digg-killer? I'd call it a Digg clone.
- Dested, on 10/12/2007, -4/+52It took 4million euros to bring it up, and about seventeen minutes to bring it down. I love you digg.
- cybermort, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26Digg Killer, Office Killer, iPod Killer, Killer Apps everything killer... why are we so violent?
- sphinx13, on 10/12/2007, -7/+32Definitely not a digg killer. Wikio is already down.
- Steener, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26Funny they call it a Digg killer when its based off the same idea. Only 2 years late.
- aliengoods, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23Digg has killed Slashdot (at at least taken a significant portion of its market), when many said it couldn't be done. Sooner or later someone will do the same to Digg. I don't think a clone will do it (Digg was an original implementation of a semi-original idea). But who knows.
- combustion8, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20exactly, they could run the site with a fraction of that amount... someones getting a new yacht.
- 0x0000ff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19I'd never heard of it, but was interested due to the potential for discussion about something other then the iPhone and PS3.
Too bad their website is slow, and when I got there it was more articles about the goddamn iPhone - coldfusion1970, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21Wikio looks interesting.
I'll certainly check it out. - tEhKewleSt, on 10/12/2007, -6/+21@ balls187 "Huh?"
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16What could they possibly need FOUR MILLION Euros for?
- TenebrousX, on 10/12/2007, -12/+25it will end like like all the "iPod killers"
- mvanhorn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I feel like I've seen it pligg web pages better than this one.. how are they getting so much funding?
- Axim, on 10/12/2007, -7/+18MORE LIKE WIKISLOW
- yakito, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14wikio wont go anywhere
- SniperX, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12This still doesn't answer why wikio has a boob in it's logo.
- JordanRL, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8@neiltc13
$1 = 0.767 EUR
1 EUR = 0.657 Pounds
Wow, for being such a strong currency its no wonder you guys were able to convince the strongest market in Europe to give up its state currency in favor of the unified one.
Oh wait... - mandarin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Thats a lotta pizza...
- grevvvvvv, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8The Digg Killer just got dugg.
Who's killing who? - Broccoli, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Block the sports stories then.
- idandfei, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Too much crap graphics, loads slow... Nice idea, liked it when it was original... 5.3 mill? Why?
- Atomic1fire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6because they can separate the pro bush pages from the anti bush pages
- SniperX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Only in the form of beer
- nkovacs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Digg killer? Kind of like the Zune was an "iPod killer". This digg clone won't go anywhere. Just look at the other digg clones out there that don't have nearly the same user base. Also, anonymous voting on wikio looks like it could be a problem.
- V3X3D, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7dugg me down for lameness but just for jokes I decided to vote for all the topics on the frontpage and I didnt even have to register. Is the news still credible if any random idiot votes ?
oh btw the design r0x0rs my b0x0rs - mc7winkie, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9DUGG!
- tekmonkey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6For the record, Jay Adelson made a statement, stating that digg intentionally only wanted a couple million of VC money to start out. Digg would undoubtedly receive much more than the $5.3M Wikio raised if it was looking for new venture capital now.
- Philoushka, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4At least their search function doesn't suck nutz.
- mrtme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4looks like a 'smart' digg.
worth taking a look... - zcreem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Amen to that brother!
Doesn't seem too euro centric though! - canewediggit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4it's "gridiron" you soccer loving euro bastard. red card for you! :- )
- ear1grey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4No chance. In the technology section right now all the front-page stories have 1 vote each, apart from the iPhone story that has 123. It's a fan-bois-dango already.
- anagoge, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Just for the record, as much as I love Digg, every community-driven news website is not a rip-off of it.
Competition produces innovation. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9I love the people who think that Digg will never be dethroned.
We have idiots digging up submissions saying "Please BAN Diggmirror,s account" when it is OBVIOUS that it was submitted by Diggmirror himself since the link is to the videos and you think that Digg is untouchable?
All a new site needs is a similar style, and FAR fewer idiots as members. - DeathBorn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5To build their SECRET EVIL HEADQUARTERS and plan their hostile takeover of Digg, of course.
- dcoolidge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Did digg kill wikio?
- macatak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3US$ 1 = 0.506354752 British pounds
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%241+in+pounds+sterling&btnG=Google+Search - adorkable81, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3introduce the "Dig-ass Kisser"
- kdehead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3who the hell are "wikio"? and i'm from the UK.
never heard of them. - Vachel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If this is supposed to be a digg-like site for Europe, why are all the front page stories about America?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Nope. Think you're the only one.
- phr0stbyte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3haha.....looks like they need to use some of that money to upgrade their equipment
- AdrianRice, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I have to say my first experience with it was surprisingly positive. Normally these clones (netscape et al) are rubbish.
- thespace2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I'm all for that!! And look up, 3/4 of the people in here are having a circle jerk on the site being down. Heaven forbid they give some actual commentary on the article and site, or the lone fact that there is some real competition in this sphere. Its about time.
- sfacets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Hey I'm joining up... at least there post may not "mysteriously" disappear at an admin's whim...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Well World, you've finally done it.
Anytime I hear the word "wiki", in any form, I now have a Pavlovian vomit-in-my-mouth response.
Thanks! - ZakColeman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Digg kills them all, the top story on wikio's homepage has 130 some "votes" this ***** story alone, has 270 some "diggs." Now tell me, who is killing who?
- idandfei, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Did you look at the site before posting that comment? Not everything is a rip off, but that site sure is.
- pranavchavda, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That title is from techcrunch. I did call it a digg clone in the description, I don't think there is much more to it than diggism. the interface itself is very pliggy
