Yes they are using Pligg of course and $40000 is too much for pligg install.
Well i would suggest these guys to use Drupaligg instead of Pligg because Drupaligg (drupal+pligg) allows to add social networking feature along with voting api. I read about drupaligg in this blog: http://venturew...ddit-clone.html

i think is expensive for $40K. There’s a couple of errors in the site.

I like the idea, even if it can be gamed and removes the advantage of surprise for Intel.

Intel Unveils Digg-like Clone. Why?…

The folks at Intel do a lot right for us tech-loving folk. They offer more powerful chipsets with ever increasing efficiency, allowing us to enjoy or Web apps and high-def Web video with greater speed and for longer stretches of time each and every ye…

If Intel actually paid contractors $40K to develop this, it would be shocking! Using a single PHP developer you could add these customizations in two weeks tops.

Not only are they violating the Affero license as #22 says, but they don’t even credit or acknowledge pligg anywhere on the site. Pretty bad taste.

Oh and $40k for a fancy pligg template…. they got overcharged by about oh…. $39,800

@Josh. True, but Intel isn’t a high school kid. Corps charge off employee time and internal systems resources to projects.

@Mike B

But any highschool kid can have pligg up and running in a few hours.

Um, 40k does sound like a lot, but you have to understand that Intel must PAY its engineers to work on projects (even with open sourced software). So, 40k is almost nothing when you are talking about a big corp allocating time and resources to a web initiative. That isn’t even half a years salary for your average Intel engineer I bet.

Intel have their review on techcrunch, but I don’t. Because Intel is a huge corporation and every single movement (even with ugly pligg-based website) is treated like something very-very important.

Not only are they using pligg, they’re violating pligg’s license:

http://www.affe....org/oagpl.html

Section 2 (d) If the Program as you received it is intended to interact with users through a computer network and if, in the version you received, any user interacting with the Program was given the opportunity to request transmission to that user of the Program’s complete source code, you must not remove that facility from your modified version of the Program or work based on the Program, and must offer an equivalent opportunity for all users interacting with your Program through a computer network to request immediate transmission by HTTP of the complete source code of your modified version or other derivative work.

Where’s the link to your source code intel?

Well Digg blows too. So it’s pretty safe to say its clones will as well.

$40,000? Someone got ripped, since pligg is free, and just have to change a header image…

whatever, digg clones suck anyway.

Such a site for rating and publishing new software has been around since about a year and a half ago… This is not even a Digg clone… It’s a betamarker(.com) clone.
