A project I have been working on for a while has now gone live, albeit in a slightly rough round the edges beta form.
KickNews.co.uk is football (soccer not American Football) aggregation site with some social aspects in a similar way to digg or reddit. In KickNews' case it is not stories that are submitted but news sources (RSS or Atom feeds basically). The feeds are moderated before we add them and once they are added the stories will then be pulled from the blog or news site. Stories can be "kicked", basically a voting system designed to help the good stories get more of an audience. Currently we are pulling mostly stories about the Barclays Premiere League and associated teams, but we are planning to
add all 4 leagues and also european leagues once we have everything
working nice.
As well as the web site we have also made really cool iPhone App that is now available on the iTunes app store (there is also a feature reduced "lite" version if you want to try before you buy).
It has been really fun working on this project and there is lots more to do, some of the things on the list are to integrate Facebook Connect and openID so it is quick and easy for people login to kick stories and comment on them. We also want to get some live scores and fixtures in there too, in particular for the iPhone App.
If you have any ideas or features you might like to see hit me up in the comments and I will see what can be done :)
