Why Drupaligg?

There are couple of open source Digg clone available on the web. And one of the most prominent that comes in mind is Pligg. It is powerful and effective. But, its power is restricted in lot of way s like if you want to add a forum to it, or a blog or a story or some custom content type that can voted, it would not be easy to do. Or simply, it can not be done. If you want to create new templates, it is not easy in Pligg. If you want to add social networking features, it is not easy. Pligg is still in beta.

In contrast, Drupal has come a long way in all these years and efforts of thousands of developers. Drupal is a powerful CMS (content management system) with modules for almost anything that you may need and in an attempt to provide a better Digg Clone as an alternative to Pligg for Drupal Users who want to harness the power of Drupal, its modules and its highly active community, Drupaligg is born.
