There are over thousand of Digg alike websites, and a majority of those use Pligg. Pligg is an open source content management system, that allows you to build your own Digg like websites. At one stage it looked like it was an end of Digg in the year 2007. With the increasing number of small social networking sites converging daily, it is acceptable to visit these small ones too. For new comers who are unable to make up to the asking of Digg or other high profile social networking sites, getting engaged in these small networks could provide huge benefits to them by not only giving them a good social networking environment but also this will help them grow their own network of friends, who will help them with big networks.
