Should i use WordPress with BuddyPress or a custom Script?

Question

I want to develop a website where people can find useful informations about other websites.

Something like DIGG.com

the problem is that i don't know to write code for WP or BP and i need a custom design and functionality

3 months ago i did not know about StackOverflow, and i think that a website that tell you about all the useful websites, will be useful, especially for the people that work in the IT domain

google gives you search results based on keywords, but most of the people need extras

www.linkbook.co is the domain, and i hope you get the idea

Answer 1

Buddypress is great for community based websites, however if you want something like Digg, you should check out Pligg:

http://pligg.com/

It also has an active community with plenty of add-ons.

Worth checking out.
