Just like MySpace, Facebook and all the others there is a huge dose of luck that get them rolling. Even if coRank was just like Digg or even better and 1000 people created sites only a select few would have mediocre results compared to Digg.

Going through Digg to sift through news is not exactly the best way to see what everyone in a specific company is viewing, or to bubble up relevant news. As a social bookmarking and intelligence tool this is great. Deploying this behind a firewall with only set addresses would be the solution that I'm looking for. Is there Sharepoint integration for this? There is a lot of use for something like this, especially in enterprise 2.0 deployment.

I understand the value proposition for social news sites, targeted at a niche, there are lots of possibilities in the business world. While digg gets lots of credit in this area, it is an oversight not to consider SLASHDOT the originator of the general idea, their implementation just wasn't as appealing (eg low-barrier) to as significant an addressable market.

Some people may want to start with a free and quick alternative that works, rater than getting into the tasks of paying for a hosting service, installing the software, keeping up with the updates, etc. I just wouldn't say that X is "the best way" (X being coRank or Pligg) because it depends on many things and everyone's needs are different. Wordpress may be "the best" way to run a blog, but look at Blogger or MSN Spaces! (granted, a blog isn't the same as a social news site). It's not a billion dollars market, but if it covers the needs of say 100 communities, I'm happy, really.
