Wordpress Digg-Like Voting System Plugin

Question

I just found out about BuddyPress (a collection of plugins that convert a WordPress MU install into a social network) and now I was wondering if there are any Digg-like voting plugins for WordPress. This would eventually integrate into a BuddyPress website, where the site members would submit, vote and comment on stories (much like Digg).

I have a feeling I will end up having to build this from scratch, but since the site will be built on WordPress, I was wondering if there were any plugins already available that add this functionality. So far I have come up empty in my search. I did find a Wordpress blog that had this functionality WpVote. It even creates thumbnails of the story webpage automatically (I'm assuming) using websnapr. I browsed through the page source and didn't seem to find any hints of a WP plugin that they are using.

Answer 2

Or you can try:

Pligg Voting CMS

Answer 3

I've successfully used TDO Mini Forms for user submissions combined with Vote it up to build a digg-style site.

You can create a "top votes" page using the *MostVotedAllTime_Widget()* function from Vote it up, or use the SortVotes() or GetVoteArray() functions to build and style your own top votes list in a customised page template.

You'll find the full list of available functions in /vote-it-up/votingfunctions.php

I'm looking to use a voting theme with BuddyPress also at our geolocation photoblog, but I'm thinking I'll have to hire someone to do it for me.

There's still some interesting options here, and that Nominate theme for Wordpress is pretty nice.
