While I’d love to work with one of those sites, making Searchblog better isn’t their focus (though Reddit does help other sites, like Lipstick.) For this test anyway, I’m going with Pligg, an open source application. No doubt there will be bugs and incomplete features, but I’ve found the platform pretty reliable so far. I’ve asked a few folks who send me mail suggesting links to use Pligg and play around with an early version, and so far it’s been a lot of fun. So take a look. I’d love for you all to bang on it, read it, and tell me how to do it better.
Many thanks to Jonathan Schreiber, FM’s amazing author services engineer, for helping me make this happen.
