Devbump.com - Cool Game Development Stuff

Are you a game developer? Want to keep track on the latest news and discussions of the game industry? If so, this is the right place for you. Devbump, a site aimed towards allowing game developers to share development related content with each other, has just hit the web. Devbump is a place for game developers and people interested in game development to share news and other industry related bits. It’s a digg-style news site focused on game development themed news, articles, resources, and anything else a developer might find interesting or useful. Devbump is entirely run by the public which submit stories and vote on which ones should make the front page. This web application allows you to submit an article that will be reviewed by all and will be promoted, based on popularity, to the main page. When a user submits an article it is placed in the "bumped" area until it gains sufficient votes to be promoted to the main page.

“Devbump is a community driven game development news site. In a nutshell, devbump is all about cool game development related links. Devbump was created by twin brothers and game developers David and Ian Marsh. The code for devbump is a modified version of the original source for Pligg whose original source was authored by Ricardo Galli. He was influenced by the extremely popular English technology site digg.com.”

Devbump aims to become a news and information resource for all game developers or people interested in game development. The site features a "digg-like" community moderated publishing system that allows stories to be constantly posted around the clock and makes it easy for everyone to become involved. Using this system it's possible to showcase unique and interesting stories that a normal news editor might not have caught. Devbump opens a range of possibilities for advertisers trying to reach a specific audience of game developers.

With digg.com and other similar user submitted content sites, why would anyone use Devbump? Besides, people will probably notice that the design and philosophy of the site is identical to digg.com. Will they make some layout changes to make it more unique and not just a plain digg clone?
