Even the Malaysian clone of Digg acknowledged that they copied from Digg. <br/><br/>This Vietnamese clone, however, has copied almost wholesale (ideas and layout) from ping.sg but didn't even give credit to ping.sg (let alone ask permission). This is NOT right. Layout is a form of expression covered under the copyright law. I wonder: How does the copyright law in Vietnam work?

In fact, its very hard to have a site uncopied. I guess copying is the best form of flattery. <br/><br/>No matter what, NO ONE can recreate ping.sg community in which ever locale possible. Its the people that makes up the community. With the Internet, copying happens a matter of time. In fact, its very hard to have a site uncopied. I guess copying is the best form of flattery.

Weblog list out the recently updated blog entries.

Ping.sg not only list out recently updated blog entries, it also count the number of people who click on it and rank them in the top 10 list.

I didn’t see any additional features for blogbanbe. Do you?
