German Digg Clone Yigg.de Financed
Yigg.de, a German digg.com clone says in its blog that it has raised an undisclosed amount from Baytech Venture Capital and business angel Roland Metzger, who founded online job search company jobpilot, which he floated, subsequently selling it to Adecco in 2003.
The site is a free "social news community" that was run as a hobby and has managed to attract some 6000 registered users. Some of the new capital will be used to form a GmbH.
It was probably the first to clone the digg style in the region - there are a lot more now. We posted about it in a report on Web 2.0 contenders back in March 2006.
