Link sharing site

Post by zepto »

Hello guys,

As you probably can see I am no coder and don't know where to post this question. I would like to create a minimalistic and clean site, which main goal is to have a place where anyone can post their own links. The links could be interesting/funny articles, pictures, videos and so on. We have the inspiration for the idea from http://tinyurl.com/33r697u and therefore it would be a good idea to check the site out to see what the whole thing is about.

Features which need to be available on the site:
- Approving: All the links shall be approved by an admin before posted on the site

- New window and frame: When clicking on a link it should open in a new window and in a frame, where the user still can see our logo. This is not the case on the website mentioned above. This way we also get the hits, if/when people try to share links by sending the link to their friends.

- Rating: Guests should have the option to rate each link

- Sharing: A possibility to share the link on social networks such as Facebook as well as via email

- Counting: All guests should be able to see how many clicks each link has had

If you have a clue about how to do this or maybe if you think it is possible to get something similar on the net, please do not hesitate to write a reply. We are aware that we maybe should set a coder on the project, but at the moment we have no idea of how to get into touch of one, so if there's anyone who knows please help.
