any other software that can make a digg like site?

As the topic says...just curious...i've heard drupal can be used. Wondering if that's possible and are there any other options also?

php dugg or something like that, but I recommend pligg all the way.

Pligg has grown more powerful and better than any other alternative voting system. FYI Pligg is now a complete CMS.

gah...i just saw phpdugg
Pligg is super good but still just checking my options

If you are looking for a simple, clean and easy to use system, then I would recommend PHPDug.
Drupal is also far superior to any other CMS out there but not as simplistic as PHPDug

Sorry to say but Pligg cannot handle the 284000+ links and many more tags in my database anymore. Pligg is terribly slow even with only a few hundred links. The front page takes some 45 sec to load and I'm sitting just a few hundred km away from my dedicated server which is hosted by a premier European provider.

Does anyone have experience with the Drupal>Zen solution? Looks shaky to me as well...

Phpdugg has done pretty well for me, but there are a lot of concerns with spam. My site has around 22,000 link in it, but probably 95% of those were submitted by bots. PHPdugg is also very very limited, so if you're looking for a simple solution, it may be ok. It runs very fast, it's just the spam thing that get's to me.

their support is even worse than pligg but i dont know much about spam i just started on drupal and it looks everything what i needed
drupal has similar facilities like digg you can get related links while submitting and after submission etc

I fully agree with you!!

However, what is Pligg doing about SUBSTANTIALLY increasing speed?? I had to turn to Dugg since Pligg is unable to handle my 516000+ stories at Bio-Network.org. I get some 1000+ story submissions per day and it takes me some 1.5 h per day to delete the crap and block notorious spammers via .htaccess. I want to move my other sites (TropHort.com, Pomology.org and Olericulture.org) to new software (social media is basically just a replacement for web directories if someone asks me) but the speed issue in Pligg is reason enough not to choose this one. I think there should be a commercial version of Pligg, started new from scratch.
