Free Software Daily was originally launched in 2005 by the staff at Free Software Magazine. It was based on Splash. Later on, FSM's staff decided to focus on blog entries rather than becoming a news hub. In 2007, the times were ready for Free Software Daily, this time based on Pligg where users vote stories up and down.
I got an email about this new digg like site for FOSS News.this is from the guys got running
Free Software Magazine

Dear Prakash,
We at Free Software Magazine have a embarked on an exciting new project, and
we want you all to be the first to know about it!
The project's URL is: http://www.fsdaily.com
This is the first time we actually send an email other than "Issue XX is out"
or our newsletter. As you can tell, we have been quite busy this month. I hope
this news is welcome by you!
We couldn't help but notice the lack of news hub entirely dedicated to free
software. Sure, there are other news hubs, but why shouldn't we have one where
like-minded free software supporters can get together and share news and info
without being bothered by those pesky Microsoft ads and yes-men?
So we made one of our own. That's right, FSDaily is back in action, this time
set up using Pligg. So this will be like Digg but just for free software and
with no FUD or MS fanboys. Plus, every single article that hits the homepage
will be about free software (not just a few per day).
This is your chance to get in from the beginning, and be a part of something
great. If you head to FSDaily now, you'll notice that we only have a couple of
pages of news so far... that's because only a couple of people know about it!
But it's not going to be a secret for long, so hurry on over to register now
before the good usernames get taken.
Of course, this is a community driven website so please:
* Visit us at www.fsdaily.com and read the news your very own community
considers important.
* Take the wheel and help decide what news is important. Create an account
* Know a juicy piece of free software related news that isn't on FSDaily?
Put it there! Let everyone know!
* Let us know what you think of FSDaily! We are making this site for you,
the community members. If you have suggestions, or feedback, let us
know, and we will respond to you.
* Let everyone else know what you think of FSDaily! Spread the word, on
your blog or website, or just by word of mouth.
* And, link to us! Obviously, we want people who are looking for free
software news to come to the site with the best selection and the
highest quality stories, as voted by the people that know - you guys.
* Please put this URL in your blog or on your page, and help spread the
word! FSDaily.com - free software news for the free software community.
We look forward to reading your news... on FSDaily.com!
