Pligg the popular digg clone CMS is for sale at sedo. Pligg is a open source software and has seen some tremendous over a few years, people use this to setup digg clones.

Currently Pligg has some 10,000 registered users and the software has been downloaded 60,000 times.

They say all good things must come to an end, but in this case it might just be the beginning. In a bold move, just before the release of our next version, Pligg CMS has decided to sell the business side of pligg. What once started as a rag tag group of rouge open source developers a year and a half ago, today has become one of the hottest Content Management System software used today. Pligg is used by sites such as VH1’s Best Week Ever, VideoSift.com, Sk-rt.com, Indianpad.com, RealEstateVoices.com, PlantChange.com, AgentB.com and Rocketboom. The Google search for “powered by pligg� shows an astounding figure of over 2,410,000 results.

The decision to sell the business end of Pligg just made sense. The community has grown larger than ever expected, with just over 10,000 registered webmasters sharing and trading tips, over 60,000 Sourceforge downloads, 2 IRC rooms that are active 24/7. It’s become an extremely large community to manage. We all have day jobs.

We’ve seen many businesses develop around pligg recently, selling everything from custom templates, and modules, to support, and installation. This is a clear example that with the proper team in place, pligg.com could easily dominate the other markets in this area.

Pligg.com has been added to sedo and open for negotiations . This sale includes the pligg.com domain along with all web content created for the site including graphic design work, blog and forum administrator accounts, rights to the Sourceforge.net account and the Pligg CMS code.

What does this sale means for all the pligg powered site owners, they are in a fix now as we don’t know who is going to take over Pligg. It is possible that a company take over pligg and start selling the pligg cms instead of releasing it freely.

Texty is so far the easy and simple content creation tool i have seen. With texty you can create a piece of text with formatting without any programming skills.

Type in the WYSIWYG editor what text you want and press the button to create your text piece, this you can place it on your web page. You can always go back and edit the texty you created and the changes will reflect on your web page. You can also select your texty to have comments and RSS feeds.

This tool looks interesting but this is not useful for either blogs or for CMS, this may be useful for static html websites.
