    Great post! There are a lot of different types to systems out now that try to do this (drigg, pligg, socialwebcms, dugg plazza, etc.) It would be interesting if you created a post that compared all the different systems out there.

    Best,

    John

    Hi John, we had already written such a post in the past but since Pligg have now released v1.0 and Dugg Plazza has surfaced it might be time to write a new post comparing all systems ;)

    PS. Loving DesignBump’s new look oh! and more importantly lack of spam :D

    Nice find Lincoln! Was about to start on a new swcms site but been having some cocetns about how widely supported that will get. The joomla community is very active with lots of add-ons. Might be worth a shot.
