The digg.com site has gained a large following ever since it launched in 2004. For any internet-savvy user who has visited the digg site, it is amazing how a simple community billboard forum can be so successful. Digg is basically a community-based popularity website with special focus on current and emerging technologies as well as science articles. It has recently expanded its subject focus to include a broader range of topics such as governance and politics. Digg features a mix of social bookmarking, blogging and forum posting with a democratic editorial content control. Digg allows users to submit websites and news items that are then promoted to the site’s front page via a user-participated ranking system. This gives the site its distinct flavor and popularity.

Joomlaapps has long noted the feature set of Digg and now offers a Joomla-based mDigg Component that offers basically the same features enjoyed at the digg.com site. It is basically a tribute to the Digg site to make it available for individuals and non-profit organization and ministries to launch similar community sites for their members. Like Digg.com, mDigg provides more than just a Joomla community forum that allows its members to enjoy the site as it grows in features and services.
