New Dutch Digg clone?

March 1st, 2007

nujij.nl Digg Clone Tonight I was checking my stats and noticed an interesting URL in my referrals. I decided to check it out an it led to a beta site for a dutch clone of Digg.com named nujij.nl.

Googling the name got me no results so I asked a few journalists if they knew about it. Nobody knew!

One of them, MarketingFacts, posted about it right away and even gave me a little credit. Cool.

Check the article here:
NU.nl experimenteert met eigen Digg-kloon

UPDATE: site is now locked. Here is a screenshot of how it looked.

UPDATE 2: Paul Molenaar (CEO Ilse) told me ” I don’t even know what this is” implying that this isn’t an official Ilse project. To be continued…

UPDATE 3: Taeke Kuyvenhoven, interim-uitgever van Nu.nl, confirms the project and tells Planet.nl that it will be launched somewhere this month. How come Paul Molenaar (CEO of Ilse) doesn’t know about this?

Tja, op zich logisch dat Ilse dit ook gaat proberen. Maar vraag me af of dit in nederland aanslaat. MSN heeft ook al MSN Reporter en natuurlijk bestaat Ekudos nog en die lopen volgens mij ook niet super.
