Update: coRank

Just two days after the relaunch coRank is providing an option to run your self-branded social news site on your own domain. While I am not intending to do this myself it is a viable option for people who want to have more control on their project. See the coRank blog for reference.

Yesterday coRank founder Rogelio B. Andreo has announced more features for the next few months; well, the fifth is live since today already:

• First, a directory and search engine of all sites in coRank, so people can find sites created in coRank that are of interest to them.
• Second, being able to automatically add stories to a site by RSS feeds. We’re still working on the details for this one, because this is a feature that can be as useful as prone to abuse, but it certainly is coming.
• Third, an OPML import tool.
• Fourth, an API. A good API. A great API that will let you do almost anything you want it to do.
• And Fifth, being able to build your own coRank automatically under your own domain (you will still need to add a record to your DNS).
