wykop.pl is a Polish social networking internet service, originally founded on December 25, 2005. It is modeled after the American website digg.com (wykop in Polish language means unearth! or dig out!). The basic idea behind wykop.pl is the collection of potentially interesting internet based information and making them available to users. The server is managed by the Poznań company "Wykop sp. z o.o." (L), which is owned by Allegro.
ReadWriteWeb described wykop as a "clone" of Digg. As of 2006, Sebastian Kwiecień, owner of the blog web20.pl, said that it was probably Poland's most popular Web 2.0 website.[2]
Statistics
According to data from April 2008 the service was getting 650,000 users monthly, of which around 30,000 were registered users.

Currently Wykop.pl has more than 110,000 registered users, 3.1 million unique visitors and around 58 million views. Since July 2013 Lech Wałęsa has also an account on this site.[3]
