“MIXX gets 6th Techcrunch mention” is far more impressive than “MIXX gets button on NY Times.

for all anybody knows, a contact of one of NYT’s dev team simply called and asked to have it added.

@9 and @11

I completely agree. This means nothing. Mixx paid for that placement.

That’s funny, on my view of an article at nytimes.com it shows Delicioius, Digg, Facebook and Newsvine. No Yahoo Buzz or Mixx. I am in Boston. Perhaps they have regionalized versions? Or maybe they are beta testing Yahoo and Mixx in the Bay Area?

That is a amazing accomplishment, I don’t even see reddit on there, unless it was cropped off.

The New York Times tonight added Mixx bookmarking buttons on its site, which is an important milestone for the company. Facebook, Digg and Yahoo Buzz are the only other third party social bookmarking services that are offered.

could somebody else confirm this?

Sadly, it’s worthless though as you can’t share articles that are behind a log in.

Another good reason why Google needs Digg.

Because in terms of content (user submissions) Digg, Reddit, and Mixx are so close to each other, I don’t see too many users trickling down to using Mixx anytime soon, NYT button or not.

Since Mixx is backed by the LATimes, this smells more like a backroom deal between members of the dying dead-tree journalism biz than a real news story.

Echoing Harold’s comment – what did Mixx do for what seems to be clearly special treatment? It can’t be justified by its current traffic, particularly because of other much more heavily trafficked sites don’t appear.

So, Mike – what’s the inside dope? Did Mixx pay for the placement or barter in some other way?

This means nothing. How much did Mixx pay/barter to get this? Did anyone even bother to ask???

Why don’t they just use the Add to Any BOOKMARK button?

As evident, there’s many more than 4 social sites to send users to…

It’s annoying that with this new change they removed the del.icio.us option. Yesterday it was still available. Bummer. Now I have to go back to using the more tedious process of clicking on Permalink and then adding that to del.icio.us.

Good news for bloggers.Great that Mixx successfully competes with old Digg.

I wish NYT would do that for my site lol

I would be curious to see how many tech readers still believe that New York times is worth a read. From what I hear it pretty much hit the rock bottom in terms of credibility and integrity.

What about del.icio.us?

It does appear to be less Dependant on Top Members like Digg is – but it still does not bring comparable traffic
