    Hey Guys,


    Got an Email from goarticles today, introducing a new social site. And I quote,

    "DropJack.com is a social content website powered by users like you. Anyone familiar with the popular Digg.com site will understand how DropJack works. Register as a member - submit content - vote on content. It's that simple. The more votes (jacks) a story receives, the better placement it receives.

    Join the Social Content Revolution
    Sign Up at DropJack Today and Participate!

    Member Benefits

    As a member you can submit and promote your own original content, or you can submit stories, videos, articles or news items that you believe are newsworthy and that would be of interest to others.

    What else can you do as a DropJack member?

    1. Vote to "Jack" or "Drop" news items posted on the site.
    2. Post or respond to comments.
    3. Send and receive messages through your private Inbox.
    4. Add Friends to your member profile.
    5. Review a list of your previously submitted, published or upcoming news stories. 6. Read member comments about your stories.
    7. Review votes cast for your submissions in date order.
    8. Read news stories you have saved to your member account

    And, of course, you can use the same features as non-members - search, bookmark, tell a friend and recommend stories to other social content web sites, like Digg, del.icio.us, Reddit, Yahoo!, Blinklist, etc.

    Be one of the first to take advantage of DropJack membership benefits at:



    http://www.DropJack.com "


    So, what do you think? Hit, miss, maybe, maybe not? Opinions are always welcome!

    Denise

    Looks like a decent Digg clone. Dunno if it'll catch hold and reach critical mass though, as first-mover status has already been lost to Digg/Netscape.

    I agree with data. It's not competition.

    Wow, assume much? :eek: If you could read, you would see that I said the email was from goarticles. It's their site.

    Sorry, my attempt at sarcasm was lost on stupidity.

    Wait, so if I like an article, I'm supposed to "Jack it"? No thanks, I think I'll stick to digging.

    If you want your site to get more visitors and participants, then increase the PR of your homepage to like a PR5 or PR6. Then many would try to get stories on the front page to get some PR juice.
