Its funny, how easy these guys make it. ReVou lets you build your own microblogging site including admin piece of it, pretty neat.

As he mentioned in the article Pligg was a Open source version of Digg, but how many people took that and made a business out of it. Digg was too big by then. Same story with Twitter. It is at the pinnacle of sucesss right now, so any new clone or open source app coming will not make much of difference. Rather it speaks more for the popularity and success of the original apps like Digg and Twitter.
