Netscape is very similar to Digg, and for about 18 months it is been functioning as a social site, but they have announced that they plan to wind down, or shut down, or move the whole site elsewhere. Netscape is owned by AOL, so they obviously have bigger plans for Netscape.com - maybe a new search engine? Netscape.com has announced that it is closing its social networking / story sharing site.

Saying that, I have been playing with Drupal recently, and it seems that it can do what Pligg and Digg do OK. So maybe no fear, we can still make our own article sharing / voting sites if we please. It will be interesting to see what happens to Pligg though.

I can assure you Digg is going nowhere for a long time. I think the buzz is slowly wearing off, and therefore not bringing in as much traffic as before - but I'm sure it's still enough to provide the team with a lifetime supply of meals :) In reply to the above comment, Digg isn’t going to be taken offline.

THe problem with these sites, is that all too often it is difficult to find new stories, and they are buried under all the "hot" stories. I am sure that some people use these sites to market their own websites, and there must be groups that work together to ensure that their sites are high on the rankings. Also, any one site could easily be taken over by people with similar interests. So before long, WTF could just be a site full of celebrity related stories, if these are the ones submitted most. With niche sites, such as ones powered by Pligg, you know that there will always be something on your topic. I think that there needs to be more niche Digg-clone sites, not just more sites.

A number of sites have tried to compete with Digg but as yet no one has succeeded. If Technorati are behind this effort then it’s probably the best placed site to really challenge Digg. We wait with baited breath. This site sounds very promising. A number of sites have tried to compete with Digg but as yet no one has succeeded.

Absolutely not. Technorati can't even keep their Search service working properly (works about 50% of the time for me) so what makes you think their Digg rip-off will do any better? The premise of WTF is broken. Why do people want to annotate exactly *why* they searched for what they did. They search and that's it. I don't understand why Technorati just can't do a better job of quantitative analysis on the top searches and present the list more effectively rather than rely on their users (who have been leaving for greener pastures) to add content.
