Pligg announces Fraxi: Make your own Digg with just a few mouse clicks
Want to set up a Digg-like site that lets users vote on the cutest photos of puppies, the best photos of overdressed people in fast food restaurants, or the most interesting news affecting your small town community? Pligg lets anyone with a little technical know-how set up their own personal Digg. But if you have a big idea and no idea how to design a site, Pligg wants to help. The company plans to launch a new service called Fraxi soon. Fraxi will let users set up a hosted social bookmarking/voting site with the URL "yourname.fraxi.com." Since there's no need to upload any code to your own server, the setup process should be simple enough for novices. All you'll have to do is choose from a list of options on Fraxi's website.
There's not much more in the way of details. But so far it sounds like Fraxi will be for Digg-clones what Blogger is for blogs, or what Ning is for social networks: Super easy to use, and not necessarily as powerful or pretty as alternative services that require a bit more elbow grease.
