Good point Imnakoya. I think these would be useful features on a site that already had a large community for a country. For instance, I think that Mashada.com for Kenya could do their own and it might be successful.

Yet another Digg-clone , just like Joromi.com – which is on Nigerian contents.

These sites lack originality to state the obvious. And the lack differentiating features on these sites put a big question mark on their longevity and overall motive.

I have noticed many country specific digg like sites which I will “digg” for links on later.
I have checked out memeza and what I dont like about it (apart from the fact that its just a pligg installation demo.pligg.com) is the content. Zambian “news” my issue is that a digg like site should refrain from being a news reason being it can never be a substitute for a newspaper website itself. From the look of things memeza is a news aggregator.

Call me pessimistic but a doubt memeza would make it without a community with power to hold it high, And that community can only come in the form of Bloggers not voters.
