Where it gets gray is of course Collactive’s revenue model and how they plan to pursue it. If Collactive pursues a quid-pro-quo or fee-for-vote system like alarm:clock guesses, then they’s stepped into a gray area and I could see Digg+competitors shutting out votes originating from Collactive. But if a business pays to move to the top of Collactive’s voting pile, then it’s not any different than paying the extra fee to become a featured item on eBay.

Subvert and Profit pays users, and that is why we have been successful. No VC required.

As I mentioned above (I’m comment #9) - I beg to differ.

“The Collactive Campaign Manager is a hosted system that enables you (or your public affairs firm) to easily mobilize your group via APBs to take collective action on Web 2.0 sites. ”

I wish we had a Web 2.0 ‘Do Not Call’ register to stop the onslaught of corporate PR spam this is intended to facilitate.

Nice one guys.

Want to get more votes for your article or blog post? This new service by Collactive lets you spam submit your content for a peer review voting similar to digg. Since the service is new, it should be much easier to spam get more votes and views of your…

Who cares! Looks ethical to me.

SUCCESS!!!

New service Collactive comes to the world courtesy of the team behind the failed Israeli outfit Blue Security, best known for running the anti-spam service Blue Frog….

Today’s web is based on user-created content. I discovered that it is often hard to participate on these websites, the end result being that techies tend to set the online tone. What Collactive hopes to achieve is to let ordinary, non-technical people who care for something participate on websites, news sites and so on. Bloggers can use our APBs to easily reach and involve a larger sector of the Internet population.

As the creator of an APB, it is entirely up to you to share it with your friends, readers or supporters. Our website lists all recent APBs to give casual users an opportunity to find topics they find to be of interest.

I invite you all to try the service out, we hope you will all find it useful.

1. Why is it gaming Digg if I would have voted anyway? Their APB just made it much, much easier for me (and for my dad, who usually does not have the know-how to open accounts on all sorts of site).

2. I am not implying anything was made up, God forbid! The original Digg CEO quote is on the WSJ article here: http://online.wsj.com/article/.....02706.html
Alarm:Clock quoted this sentence - “There’s a difference if you’re a marketing company and you want to get something manipulated to the top”. The “For sure… to another level” is an afterthought Alarm:Clock added.

Here’s the link to the original article on WSJ, so you can fix Digg CEO Jay Adelson’s quote.

To me it seems like a service to make voting on sites easier for the less tech savvy.
It is useful for people which are interested in voicing their opinions, but are not interested with headache of manually registering to each site separately.

I agree with posters before that this is a powerful “Digg this” button, not a war on Digg.

if you’re using Collactive to get votes on Digg (and I’m not saying you are, I don’t know) then it doesn’t matter how morally correct the issue, you’re still trying to game Digg by using the service, and you’re therefore spamming Digg’s results. The quote from the Digg CEO via Alarm:Clock wasn’t made up, least that I know of by the way: DIGG IDENTIFY THIS SERVICE AS ATTEMPTING TO SUBVERT DIGG!!! Straight from the horses mouth, if you don’t agree with my analysis fine, but are you suggesting that Digg don’t know their own product? Read the quote.

I can’t see the difference between Collactive’s service and bloggers who puts a “Digg this” button on their own webpage. Mr. Riley might argue that these bloggers also encourage Digg spamming, because they make it easier to other people to digg only their own story (which is exactly what Collactive do — make it easy to digg/promote your own story).

Their (Collactive’s) website looks great, has anyone tried the service?

Thanks again for calling me a spammer…

I’m familiar with some of these guys, and as I understand Blue Security was closed and people went their separate ways. This is a new company, new people (sure, some of the same founders) and new service. Why the connection?
