ScoopThis.net - Another Digg Clone Launches

ScoopThis is aspiring to be the next Digg and it’s pulling out all the 2.o stops in order to achieve its goals. Besides the bouncy green orange and blue color schema, you’ll first notice the Digglike setup with user aggregated stories, voting, bookmark favicons for saving to other sites, tags, and comments . You’ve also got your user profiles indicating how many stories they’ve posted along with comments made and received. There’s also the obligatory tag cloud and of course widgets. Of course, I shouldnt fail to mention the RSS feed they’ve got set up too. This site has all the standard Digg features. It really does a good job at flattering the original site, however, there’s not much more to it than that.

“Submit a story”

If you’re one for user generated news sites with plenty 2.0 features, ScoopThis is just the thing you’re looking for. It resembles Digg but the fun hasn’t yet been spoiled as with the former site. ScoopThis has squeaky clean looking interface, it’s got widgets and buttons, and it’s familiar.

Is another Digg clone necessary? The concept has been done to death. Will ScoopThis try to differentiate itself in any way?
