HAMIGG - Ham Radio Social Forum

Christian, DL6KAC, informed OPDX about a new project he started last week called HAMigg (http://hamigg.de).

It is a social bookmarking platform similar to digg.com (therefore HAMigg = Ham Radio + Digg).

Christian states, "The big difference is HAMigg is limited to ham radio and technical topics only. In my opinion, Digg.com and all other platforms are heavily congested and it is really difficult to find the 'good stuff'.

HAMigg is an effort to change this a bit. The idea is the following: Users can submit interesting stories or articles which they have found on the internet (DX news, websites, ham software [freeware], ham radio news in general etc.).

Other users can vote on these stories via an interactive voting system. Submissions or articles which receive a lot of positive votes will rank high, others will rank lower, helping to sort the submitted articles.

RSS feeds are available so that users can easily subscribe and stay updated once new submissions are online. In a nutshell it's all about content for hams by hams."

Christian has compiled a more detailed write-up about the new project at:
