I found a new site for called Dzone today. Unlike Digg its focuses on programming, coding tools, processes and practices. The feature which made this site uniquely stand out among the other 100 digg replica’s is its ability to take “webshots” of the URL being linked which is shown as a thumbnail.
dzone fills a void which in a developers life which sites like digg and slashdot can’t fulfill because of their unfocused news items. Lately digg has been trying hard to develop more focused pages, but its no where close to what developers are currently looking for.
