Websites don't just spring fully formed out of Zeus's head. They have to differentiate, find a market position, reach tipping points and GROW into the next great thing. So ones that continually make news by signing up with large partners, create new never-before seen features (breaking news, related contnet), are worth covering as they go down the path of hunting down the industry leaders.

Mixx since launch has been ahead of the game in every single way. Digg users had been screaming for a picture section, Mixx launches with one. Mixx has transparency which requires users to be held accountable. At other sites you can just be a screaming jackass and bury away. Mixx has a daily leader board. Other sites rely on a third party website to see leaders. Mixx rewards it's users with medals and badges. Other sites are thinking about doing this. Mixx has a Breaking News section, this has never been done in Social Media ever. So I ask you, if you like Social News and Social Media, what is stopping you from heading over to Mixx? Now with the integration of CNN it will make it easier for me to submit content to Mixx from the CNN page. Yes I do click the buttons, it makes it easier for me to submit either a good or breaking story. Obviously Joe T has yet to use the site and realize it is breaking grounds in Social Media.
