I guess I missed all the hoopla around the web 2.0 expo, and somehow am not going to it. So instead I built my own web 2.0 application, think of it as Digg for T-shirts and it’s built on an open source tool called Pligg.
Pligg is essentially an open source, php/mysql version of digg.com, which is as easy to install as wordpress. It’s got some really interesting features like creating automated submissions via importing rss feeds, and even a tool to help you share adsense revenue with members of the site. In that way they’ve actually improved on digg in the fact that revenue shareing is already built into the system, meaning top users will actually get compensated for their participation in the site. I wonder if smaller more focused digg like sites will start drawing people away from digg (it really has an awful category system).
Anyway, the t-shirt digg or Tdigger is an extension of my annoyingly successful t-shirt blog tcritic.com (I say annoyingly because it is far more popular than experiencecurve in a much shorter space of time). Anyway, I seriously suggest you take a look at the features that basically only took a few hours to put together.
Too bad, you should have signed up for the program we created for our client Yugma. They’re offering the opportunity to present at the Web 2.0 Expo virtually using their web collaboration service. It was designed specifically for people like you. http://www.yugma.com/stage2
Very cool idea Zeus, looks like you have some really interesting applications getting presented. Very cool.
