Joomla vs Pligg

State your cases please - which is the better structured, better performing, supported, and robust CMS, and why?

Karl,

To my way of thinking they are not even the same kind of thing. Pligg is a "digg" clone/workalike, while Joomla! is a general purpose CMS framework. I realize that Pligg calls itself a CMS, and it is, in a literal sense, but it is not what I generally picture when I think CMS.

I think one user's description of Pligg is pretty accurate:

In reply to:

---

"Pligg uniquely combines collaborative bookmarking, social networking and blogging. Here, visitors are creator, consumer and judge of the content. Each submitted news item has a vote button, URL and optionally a short description. Visitors may vote and comment on any item. At the end of the day, depending on the vote count, items are automatically promoted to the home page, held in the queue, or permanently removed from site."

To me, one's a fruit and the other is a vegetable.

Ah right, just from what i'd read on the Pligg site it was boasting about being a CMS... i'm glad i didn't install it and give it a go... definitely not what I want.

Yeah, i pretty much hate social bookmarking sites.

And in that case, the debate is over... shot down by one man!

Thanks for the to-the-point summary!

Cheers,
Karl

Joomla is a versatile CMS that can be tailored to almost anything. Pligg is a lot more specialized and is basically a clone of Digg.

Pligg for what it does is very good, mostly easy to use and would be a lot easier than setting up Joomla to do the same.
