domain TopBetas.com

Like most people I have a running list of names I WANT to register, but probably won't. However, a lot of my other "topKEYWORD" domains were being snatched up, so I caved in.

I recently came upon www.KillerStartups.com and love the idea of providing a digg-type interface for reviews of top quality new sites. Since "beta" is one of the big web 2.0 buzz-words, I thought this would be the perfect name.

Here's a quick logo I made with creatr.cc:

Thanks everyone.

What I love about pligg is that you can offer the same social bookmarking that digg users crave, except targeted for a certain niche. Just throw on a skin, a logo, and be consistent with your additions/approvals, and you've got a relatively low maintenance site.

We'll see!

I think in development, with a digg-type interface as you mentioned, this could do pretty well for you. But it needs to be developed.

Any other thoughts or ideas?

I was thinking to start out reviewing 1 beta site and 1 beta software per day. This would kind of combine Betamarker.com (software only) and KillerStartups.com (sites only)

Eventually I would take on some writers and offer more sites per day, since 2 per day only works for giveawayoftheday

I think I would prefer to keep it as me reviewing sites, while giving people the option to submit sites for consideration. If I just turn it into a true digg style site, it will just get lost in the jungle of other clones.

I spent a few minutes tweaking a pligg template. I also "developed" a method of staying informed on all of the new beta sites and software, so hopefully I can start reviewing new sites before the other sites like mine do.
