    Wondering if anyone had started their own social bookmarking site similar to buzzytag dot com?

    If not, does anyone know how to go about doing it?

    I am interested in creating a similar site for people to get backlinks from.

    Thanks

    there are thousands of bookmarking sites already out there; unless you have some unique ideas i guess you are bit late.

    The site you shared buzzytag dot com, they are using Pligg CMS.

    http://www.pligg.com/

    It is very easy to install :)

    I think that it is not profitable to create a social bookmarking site because the competition is too high in this sphere.

    The markets far too saturated in Social Bookmarking but offer something unique and you'll never know what can happen!

    Actually you have 2 way to do it.
    1.Buy the script that available at market.

    2.Hire coder to code a site that meet your requirement.

    Its best to go for second option as it more unique.

    ^ The Pligg.com is free script. You can download and start your own social bookmarking site without any money.
