BestOfIndya.com, Minglebox.com, Rediff Connexions and Rajshri.com are clones, says Business2
Business 2.0 in its August issue tried to identify a list of clones of Digg.com, Facebook.com, LinkedIn and Youtube, from different countries. See the snapshot on what they have identified from India
BestOfIndya.com - I have been using BestOfIndya.com for a quiet a while and it’s really a good. It’s based out of Pligg, an open source content management system. However I believe that Indianpad.com is the closest to Digg in India. It gets more page views per day when compared to BestOfIndya.com.
Minglebox.com - Facebook is not only a social networking site it’s also a social networking platform on which other services / software’s could be built and deployed. However Minglebox is not. It is just a pure social networking site. We could say Minglebox.com as a clone of Myspace or Orkut but definitely not Facebook.
Rediff Connexions - This is somewhat closer to LinkedIn.
Rajshri.com - Rajshri is definitely not a video sharing site like Youtube. It’s run by Rajshri Media. And they stream the self produced videos. There are lots of other Youtube clones. For an entire list please click here.
