I think that Pleth, have had a little extra time to work on some internal projects. One of our pet projects is titled Nascarview. Although we are still working out some of the kinks in our site concept it is intended to be an ad-driven Nascar fan site. As we worked through the initial stages we began to discuss how we could best bring together news items generated by a broad base of Nascar fans. What we needed was a news aggregator. The solution: Pligg.
Pligg has perfected content management in a unique way that encourages users to participate and control the content on the site. This makes the site user-moderated and allows for “social publishing” where the stories are created and promoted by members not website editors.
The installation was no problem. Set up a database, FTP the files and run the installer. Where I was really impressed was the administrative side of this software. It is obvious that a lot of time has been spent on the functionality of this administrator control panel. It is well organized and with a little AJAX here and there is very user friendly.
