I came across a social news discovery site called Spotplex. We can’t really call it as a Digg-like site because it doesn’t count votes to promote the article, but instead it counts the number of impression. Blog owners have to insert Spotplex tracking code into their template and Spotplex promotes the article based on the impression counts within a certain time frame.
Whenever someone reads your post, Spotplex tracking counts the impression and determines what is the hot news today, this week, or this month in real time at Spotplex. Additionally, Spotplex tracking code can also be utilized to keep a count of your blog statistics.
While this sounds like a better idea, it has its own, ups and downs. I’m not sure, if Spotplex has an anti-gaming algorithm, but if they don’t, gaming might be a major concern for them. While such a model, eliminates things like mafias and team buries, at the same time gaming it is no big deal (assuming that they don’t have anti-gaming algorithm, you just have to artificially inflate impressions).
Impression based model makes it extremely hard for small blogs to reach their frontpage. Rich keep getting richer

Unfortunately Spotplex requires an invitation code to sign up.

Their server problems are making it unusable at the moment. It sounds like an interesting idea but I don’t think it’s really going to help the average blogger.

Interesting. Anybody has got an invite?

@Shankar,
Lets see how it works. I did get an invite and have signed up.
@Others,
Cannot write off any service just because it is bit different. Naturally Tech Crunch and the likes may make it to front page, provided they add the code. Give it a shot and you may make it popular. Participate and get them to tweak their algorithms. Naturally its algorithm based so multiple hits from an ip should be ignored.
Cheers!

I don’t think its an efficient system. Consider this. I go to Digg everyday and read the news. But, some of them may not sound so good for me. So, there’s an option for me to “bury” it.
But, in this system, either I like it or not, the page gets hit. So, why should others like it if its lame. It would be good with a button equivalent to “bury” with which I can decrease the hit.

unless they introduce a way to give negative votes for stories, its going to be stagnant. Obviously, high traffic sites will make it to the top.
