Hey Guys,

I’m pleased to announce the launch of my next anticipated project
called the www.sticcit.com. Its a community site build upon the idea of
sharing news, stories, articles and other useful content you find on
the internet on daily basis with your friends and the world. The user
drives the content of the site and you as the user decide what goes
into the site. It also lets you share content among your friends. Its
a place to interact with the world and your friends on things that
interest you. I have the basic features up and running. There are tons of features that are yet to come and i’m always open to ideas smile  This couln’t have been possible without the power of CI and I’m thank everyone in the CI community for helpting out.

To be honest,
There are tens of sites like this, often with far more features and a better interface. You know what I’m thinking of: Digg.com, del.icio.us, stumbleupon.
I’m thinking this part of the web is saturated, and you can only become big when you offer new, improved or unique features. Which your site does not.

So, if I were you, I would try to find a niche in the market where your site can fit. Like a more localised version of your site (Interesting links from YourTown, NY) or doing it in several or another language(s).
Or try something new: let them rate the sites, give an emotional tag (i ‘love’ this news; its ‘confusing’, ...) . Or do something new with tagging…

There, both negative and positive. Hope you make something of it!

hey motionwise,

i won’t argue with you the fact that everyone is trying to replicate what digg has done. Thou sticcit looks like one of those sites at the moment (because it only has the most common and obvious features) but there are unique features and concepts that are under development and on paper that will differentiate sticcit from others. This is not the finished product.

This project is something i under took to develop something of my own. Hopefully as i progress, i will gain more from it as i have already learned a lot from this venture.


Oh, I like your idea about using emotional tags. Something to ponder about smile Great suggestion.
