Hey there..
I want to build a news site in my language using the great vote up down package...But im wondering how to build it.
I basically have two choices:
1) let the users submit every news item like digg.com
2) use agregattor2 to feed news into the site, and the let the people filter them by voting, etc...
I dont mind using the option 2, but what is keeping me from doing it is that I would have liked to use TAGS on every news item so that people can not only filter by region and by main category, but also by TAGS as well...
I though that if the users submit every story then of course the tagging would be easier as each person that submits a story can tag it themselves at the node creation time. Using feeds does not permit the usage of tags, as it would be a colossal job to tag feeds coming from 500+ news sources and blogs around...
On the other hand, im afraid that launching a digg.com like site would be really difficult to start because people in my language are not so used to those web 2.0 stuff yet... so I guess it would take a long time to have a reasonable amount of news published on the site...
So I guess my choice is: 1) lots of feed items (easier to start the site) but no tags OR 2) small amount of news published for a long time, but with TAGS.
What would you do in my place??
Is there anything I missed on drupal that could help solve tis problem (like letting users TAG feeds, easily??)
