Another fork

Filed under: Shakk.Us, meneame, pligg, supergu — shakk @ 12:18 am

It was such a long transition period I’ve ever experience past 3 months. Things were almost settled down here. I’ve totally lost in the latest pligg development, and great news is Pligg Beta 8 is out with lot of features we the pligg site owner long waited for.

Picking up the mood in continueing what’ve been left out, I decided to check some old log to analyze where should I steer shakk.us to, apparently there is some regular hit refered from site named supergu.

Apparently SuperGu is started by an ex pligg user who had put high expectation on it and actively commented in their forum.

su·per; a product of superior size, quality, or grade.
gu; moving quickly; swift.

SuperGu is another translated fork from the famous Open Source social submit-vote-link (or digg-clone ;) ). The software promised features that combine the benefits of del.icio.us, digg, and reddit. Features that I come into my preference is the websnapr, which adds a lot of colors into the default boring plain-text looking site (except for the Video voting site and include shakk.us).

It’s time for a shakk.us upgrade now, cya, decision is to pligg or gu?

  3. If you’ve ever dealt with freelance programmers, I bet you can relate. Now, I’m certainly not saying all programmers are bad, but I’ve consistently found them difficult and often very expensive to work with.
