If you’re like many online writers who are always seeking a new place for sharing your links, a new option is Blingmyfaves.

Much like other social bookmarking sites, such as Reddit or Digg or StumbleUpon, Blingmyfaves allows you to post links of all sorts. Sure, you can post links to your own articles, but the fun here is to add links from all kinds of different sites from your favorites to oddities and beyond.

One of the most interesting aspects of Blingmyfaves is that it’s a Pliggsoftware site. What is Pligg? To take it straight from the official website, Pligg is “an open source content management system that lets you create your own social network.”

So, what does all that corporate-speak really mean? It means you can have your very own social bookmarking site. In fact, in case you haven’t noticed the similarity in names, Pligg software is based upon the popular Digg. And just like Digg, viewers of a Pligg page get to vote and leave comments about the articles there.

That’s right. You can have your very own site similar to Digg. You could potentially have hundreds or even thousands of viewers perusing your site looking for the latest interesting links.

Besides the fun aspects, is there a way to make money from running your own social bookmarking site? I’m sure there is, but I’m no business guru. To find out more, contactthe folks at Pligg.

One more thing: Guess what’s best about Pligg? The software is free. Yes, free. Of course you’d still have to pay for a website, but that’s usually not too expensive.
