List of websites those look like digg or match digg functionality
Nearly from last one week I was searching the Internet for websites those look like digg or offering the functionality like digg where users can post links to the original article. After reading disucussions in various forums like digitalpoint, sitepoint and serching the Internet using google and yahoo I prepared a list of these websites. I thought it will be very useful for others if I share this list, so I posted this in my blog. We all know that if your blog / link is digged to first page, you get lot of trafic to your site. So now think about how much traffic your website gets, (offcourse it all depends on quality of your article) if you sumbit your article or blog to all of these websites. See the following websites and some description from their ‘about’ page…
