About PickAFig

PickAFig is a web application that allows you to submit an article that will be reviewed by all and will be promoted, based on popularity, to the main page. When a user submits a news article it will be placed in the "unpublished" area until it gains sufficient votes to be promoted to the main page. The original source for PickAFig was authored by Ricardo Galli. He was influenced by the extremely popular English technology site digg.com. The concept was then adapted for the Catholic community by Paul Nowak of R.A.G.E. Media.

Why the name PickAFig?

PickAFig refers to several different Scriptural passages:
-"You will know them by their fruits" Matthew 7:16,Luke 6:44, James 3:12
-The cursing of the fig tree for producing no fruit. Matthew 11:13-14
PickAFig helps Catholics refer one another to the "Good Fruits" of the Internet's offerings. by "picking good fruit" for others to see you can help them pass over the bad fruit.
