 * Is anyone aware of a plugin for WordPress that will allow “digg”ing, ala digg.
   com? Users could vote for posts, and entries could be sorted by most popular 
   rather than by date.

 * I’m looking for something similar. Features similar to digg or slashdot. The 
   ability to “rate stories” and add stories. And then for the most popular ones
   to shop up on the home page. The best I’ve been able to come up with is a rating
   system and then something that takes the most popular ones and displays them.
   Then I found something that lets you pick the “home page” of wordpress so I tried
   setting it to the “Front Page” which displayed the popular stories. It didn’t
   work quite as planned. See: [http://dev.book-bee.com/](http://dev.book-bee.com/)

 * The other thing I’m thinking is that in wordpress you can set what “level” a 
   person is when they sign up, so you could set it so that when someone registers
   they can submit stories. You’ve got categories just like slashdot or digg (heck,
   there’s even a plugin that lets you have a different “icon” for each category
   like on slashdot.) You’ve got comments built it. There are just a couple of steps
   missing that would make it easier for anyone who wants to use wordpress to turn
   it into a more community based network of news, stories, whatever.
