I have been a proud member of the Mixx community since the beginning.

The Mixx community is what separates it from the other social media sites. At the other sites, you have to knock when you get to the door and give the bouncer a secret code in order to be ‘let in’. At Mixx, the door is open, and the community is full of people who welcome new users and vote based on quality of content.

At Mixx, it’s not ‘who you know’, it’s ‘is your content worthy of recommendation to other users’. There us no guarantee that your content will make the front page, but it most certainly will be reviewed, and voted up if its any good.

Digg is still the big daddy in social news. It is hard for new startups to compete with digg in the same category. Community effort is required to start another site like digg. Mixx does not seem to have the x-factor needed to compete with digg.

The growth of a community (Digg vs Mixx)…

According to Techcrunch it is becoming the place for “Digg Refugees” and I’m not sure it should be keeping that title. It is only two months old at the moment so the community is still small and pure….

well i know for certain that Digg has some kind of censorship going on, and is otherwise unfair. just yesterday i had an article, after 20 hours or so, become the #1 in the Hot list for the Political Opinion page, and a few hours later it was gone, no where to be seen without a direct link or a search “including buried stories”…now it was a slow weekend (thanksgiving) on Digg to be sure, but if it’s #1, it’s #1, and it didn’t go to the front page. it was buried.

now where is any sort of fairness or democratic behavior there?

i’ve seen this roughly happen to about 8-10 submissions in the last couple months since i became a “non-lurker” on Digg, and i’m FED UP with Digg. it’s not like I have anything to prove, but if 90 people Digg a story in 12 hours, and then it’s buried, that just is telling those 90 PEOPLE TO FUCK RIGHT OFF.

so, DIGG, I’m TELLING YOU TO FUCK RIGHT OFF, ON BEHALF OF THOSE PEOPLE AND MYSELF. Eat doo doo.

Digg still the best for me. Mixx I think will grow but it takes time. I bet mixx have they strategy to promote they site.

I didn’t contribute many stories to Digg, but I was the #2 poster out of about 600,000 people at the time. That’s quite a bit of contribution to the site, I would say. Then, one day, I tried to log in and found my account disabled with no explanation. I have never touched digg since and I consider the year I spent there to be a complete waste. I don’t even bother with any similar sites (reddit, mixx, newsvine, etc). A waste of time. I’ve returned to Slashdot, where there is at least some degree of common sense applied to what stories reach the page, instead of everything that is a list or includes the word “AJAX”.

Thanks for the write up. I certainly am seeking a Digg alternative as Digg does not answer customer service inquiries, is not transparent and is inconsistent (Check out Tamar Wienberg’s post on this subject).

digg makes no money
digg has a godawful community
digg clones will make no money and have a smaller just as horrible community

good luck to mixx and I reiterate that this post from Arrington in its current form suck c**k big time

I don’t believe digg has 15million users.

I suspect it is closer to a couple of botnets pretending to be 15 million haters who all think alike and bury stuff that doesn’t fit the ideology of the botnet wranglers.

Really, Brian? I really don’t know who their CEO is, and I use Mixx.

What is the guarantee that Mixx is also not going to be like digg if it becomes popular. Welcome to the world of user generated contents and the wisdom of the crowd. We all love UGC and wisdom of the crowd if it goes in our favor.

Mixx is alright, but I use http://www.tagsum.com

They are more innovative than mixx or digg, and the audience is nice. Mixx is only getting press because of who their CEO is.

Digg has lost it a long time ago. To the average user (which means, a user who isn’t an Apple/Linux fanatic etc.), it’s completely useless. The really hot news never get to the homepage fast enough, and the atmosphere there is too violent and brutal to my taste. I’m really glad for ANY competition and alternatives, and Mixx seems like a very good one.
