You can find it on http://crowdnews.eu. The main problem with digg is the voting system. When only top voted stories get on the front page it has to be a subject that many can relate to, which result in stories with a low information content. http://crowdnews.eu solves this by using sharing instead of voting. Every have a personal news page on which they can subscribe to other users and when those users share stories they will appear on the personal news page. Crowdnews Hi
