alternative news management sites, worth the effort?
josefresco: You opened a rather large can of worms here, the short answer to your question is that you're kind of late to the game, there are hundreds if not thousands of Digg/Reddit competitors and taking on FriendFeed/Twitter has and IS being done on a daily basis (Plurk etc.)Anyone familiar with Reddit or Digg will tell you they are about as similar as a Ford Taurus and a Honda Accord.  They share the same basic function but vary vastly in audience, content and culture.All that being said, if you can build a better mouse trap but all means do it.  I'll be waiting on the sidelines cheering you on and sharing my thoughts on what you're doing right and wrong ;)
