I jumped on the Digg-like bandwagon and started a Digg-like service of my own. Luckily I have plenty of domains just lying around that I can use for when I get an idea or want to copy an idea already in place.

I didn’t think it was going to be such a hassle though. I am already battling spammers. I just setup a few more spam combating modules to see if they help. Will know in the next two- to five-hours.

I decided to share 50% of the Adsense ad space with members who register and want to start posting articles of their own or link to news items to be discussed. In each case, when an article of yours or a linked article is being viewed your Adsense code will be used 50% of the time.

My Digg-like website is located at http://news.BeamMeUp.net/ Beam Me Up!

The software in use, pligg, is still in the early beta stages of development even though it’s been around for awhile!

If you write your own articles and or can find interesting news stories you are invited to register and start posting and/or linking away.
