Digg.com’s content publishing model is no doubt one successful Web 2.0 example. I’ve written an entry about a year ago, listing some 15 sites that use similar digg.com concepts. Now that one year passed, god knows how many site out there now practices the digg model. But if you are still thinking of jumping on the bandwagon, here’s 6 free scripts that allows you to setup something like Digg, where stories are submitted shared as voted by users.
Pligg
Pligg is one of the most well known digg clone. It runs on PHP/MySQL, free and its currently on Beta 9.8. Read more about Pligg.
PHPDug
PHPDug is very similar to digg.com, particularly its dig buttons. It runs on PHP/MySQL, supports 12 languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Thai, Chinese, Arabic, Dutch, Indonesian, Turkish, Persian) and here are its features:
- Easy to edit html template files
- Spam fighting captcha security codes
- Simple wizard installation
- External dig buttons
- Easy to edit language files
- No need to setup a cronjob
- Dig up/down comments
- Powerful Admin panel for controlling your site
- Automatic thumbnail retrieval for youtube and google videos
- Automatically add stories from RSS feeds
Check out the front demo, as well as the admin demo (user/pass : demo/demo)
The above two are by far few of the popular ones, but if you are intending to look for more, here’s another 4 more digg clones scripts with however less online support. Authors’ descriptions in quotes.
diggCLone
The diggCLone project is an effort to reproduce the functionality of the oh-so-popular social bookmarking site, digg.com. We’ve changed up a few things about it, but kept how the site basically works. Right now, we’re still in some of the early stages, though, so some of the functionality isn’t there yet.
Upwarded Source
Upwarded.com wasn’t as successful so far as I was hoping, so I’ve had a hard time adjusting the ranking algorithms… there just isn’t enough data coming in to test it. In any case, I’m releasing the full source for Upwarded.com [ZIP] under a GNU GPL/ CC license. All you need is Apache/ PHP5/ MySQL; for more see the contained “readme.txt”.
Loudle
A “digg like” news submitter/voter (non-hierarchical editorial control for you wordphiles) created using industry standard PHP and MySQL.
GrabTheMic
GrabTheMic is an Open Source implementation of community-driven news sites such as Digg (http://www.digg.com) and Reddit (http://www.reddit.com). It is powered by Ruby on Rails.

So, can we come up with a successful site with these free scripts?
Replyhongkiat December 4th, 2007
I think it is not the script that determines successful of the site. Wordpress is a good example. Majority of blogs are on Wordpress platform, but only minority becomes successful. So I guess it is the creativity and determination or the concept behind your website that determines.
ReplySyahid Ali December 5th, 2007
I’ve seen another but i don’t think it is based on Digg script. It is called Mixx.
Replydicky December 10th, 2007
Mixx is a customize Digg-like site. It look quite similar with Pligg. But i believe Mixx is not based on any open source Digg Clone Scripts.
Replyhongkiat December 23rd, 2007
dicky: Yeap, I’m a user of Mixx too. Obviously the crowd is smaller, but looks potential.

Hi. It’s Robert Johnson with http://www.stirtalk.com and although we’re still under development, I want to share with you anothe open source program that’s worth looking into. It’s called Elgg and you can find it the http://www.elgg.org web site.
I don’t benefit from mentioning Elgg in any way. I simply love the little gem.

Digg and reddit are better
ReplyLogo Designer May 5th, 2009
Another digg style site is DipLinks.com (http://www.diplinks.com), i linked it because…
- submission is easy
- makes direct link to your site without no-follow
- every story is published on home page after 15 kicks automatically
- you can also post your links behind your names in comments area.
Enjoy..!
ReplySulumits Retsambew June 19th, 2009
