New Digg For Cell Phone News Launched

CellphoneNews2.com (and, unfortunately, CellphoneNews2.mobi) has officially launched as a digg-style source of mobile-phone related news topics. Users can create a free account and digg up or bury news stories, thereby affecting what shows up on the main page.

It’s a rather neat idea, and easy enough to submit an article. There isn’t any commenting built-in, as there is on Digg, which personally I think adds a bit of value to those submitting articles. Rather than carry on conversation on a 3rd party site, readers can converse on the actual story.

The mobile site is quite neat, as well, though I’m not sure why they chose .mobi rather than easily (and for free) setting up an m.website. Perhaps in the near future the m.site could forward to the .mobi and we’d all be happy?
