See every link posted in Twitter - Digg style

Twitigg is a new site that takes all of the articles, links and videos posted in Twitter and then reposts them to a website so you can view them. The idea is that it counts the number of times that each article is posted in the twittersphere.  Then you can see how popular each story / link is by the number of people submitting it.  

When we first looked at Twitigg, we were put off by a couple of things.
- We couldn't vote on the stories.
- There is a lot of bad data. Maybe not bad data per-se but it looks like the Twitigg site can not handle some international character sets so there is a lot of funky symbols all over the site.
- The design is terrible.  The site itself looks like a standard installation of the Pligg content management software.

 

Twitigg is a great idea if they can iron out the bugs, get the data cleaned, get UTF 8 and pretty things up a bit. But how will it stand up in the real world until then?
