About Pligg
Pligg, originally named menéame in
Spanish, is a web application that 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 a news
article it will be placed in the "unpublished" area until it gains sufficient votes to be
promoted to the main page. The original source for Pligg was authored by
Ricardo Galli. He was influenced by the extremely popular English technology site
digg.com.
