techTAGG - A better Digg?

When it comes to social bookmarking sites we all know that Digg is by far the largest and most popular (just ask anyone that has had a story hit the front page.) So how could a site improve on the model perfected by Digg, well techTAGG may have done it.

What techTAGG has done is brilliant. By making a a slight tweak to the model they are giving back to their contributors. They said -> Look, we want to build a community with a similar model that Digg has built - with improvements and evolve our own strengths. We are not going to pay you explicitly, but we will share the AdSense revenue with you 50% on the stories that you submit. In fact, we want to get this party started, so the first 250 members will get 100% of the AdSense revenues for the life of the site.

FYI, their are currently only 134 members as of today, so you still have time to be in the first 250 members and get 100% of AdSense revenues from your contributed stories.

Note: The site has already generated extra AdSense revenues for me in my first 5 days as a member. It is not much, but every little bit adds up.
