When you develop stuff, often it is practical to copy existing code and adapt it to your liking. That's actually common practice. But it is also common practice to mention it somewhere. And when you decide to re-use someone's stuff, you always have the courtesy of mailing the original author saying thanks. Well, according to , someone has copied Digg 100% and brags about how he's inspired by reddit and others......

Update! The Demo URL redirecting now to Meneame. Weird.
Weird, indeed. I wonder what's going on there.....
