A user driven social content site for New Zealanders by New Zealanders
Not sure if there’s room in NZ for two sites like this but who knows. I’ve added a link.
I personally don’t think linka is presented as well as scoopit, it’s missing the all important SOE URL rewrite mod, the linka / link language is a little clumsy and of course it doesn’t have the backing of scoop.co.nz so it’s a little hard to see how it will get the traction needed to be a real contender. But Who knows!…Good luck to them.

Agreed. Without having scoop in behind it I can\’t see this getting much of a foothold. Also not the most visually appealing at first glance. Though in saying that everything has to start somewhere - I should know with sharemyNZ - so many ideas but only so many can be implemented because of $$. Definitely wish them the best of luck.
competition will always drive innovation and I think there is a need for more inovation on the web in NZ.
I wish both sites the best of luck.
