Re: money

Mixx (Recommended Reading, Inc.) was allowed to offer equity in the company to certain media partners. I confirmed this with on of the VCs that invested in the company. Don’t know if that was the case w/ CNN, but given the more established alternatives to Mixx, I’d guess that was the guess.

When a social networking site or SaaS provider takes off like Mixx has in the month of May, how do these companies manage such rapid growth? How do they know what features users are enjoying? And, how do they capitalize on there success? Meaning, how do these companies make money?

I have explored this topic a bit and found that there are a few resources/companies that help SaaS or social networking sites grow, track user activity, and monetize their ideas, one such company is eVapt (www.eVapt.com). Do you know of other resources or approaches social networking sites utilize?

We went from 1 to 7 visitors over a single month period… thats nearly a 700% increase in traffic.

700%!

Take that Mixx!

P.S. Congrats to the guys over at Mixx! Lets hope you guys can keep that momentum up!

As mentioned though this is probably to do with the clout that the founders of mixx have than anything. Would be interested to see the proof of the scripts that increase votes on stories as I can almost believe this with the dubious stories that make it to the frontpage there.

Visitor engagement is much more important. I’d like to see the difference in global bounce rate from April to May for Mixx. My guess is it went from ~50% to ~80%.

I drop services that become unreliable (Twitter, I’m looking at you) but Mixx has never given me a reason to do so.

BTW, DiggBorg – the “average” Net user (your mom) doesn’t even know what the hell Digg is.

@Trademanufacturer – there are objective media outlets??? I want what you’re smoking.

As for the question of money, a recent article in the Washington Post stated that no money changes hands in mixx’s partnerships. My guess is that old-school news networks want in on social media and they chose mixx because of Chris McGill’s clout. Also, unlike digg, there are no ads yet on mixx at all (therefore they’re not making any money yet).

If you watch all activities on Mixx for couple of days….you will come to know..most of them are Mixx employees. They also have a automated script that increases your story votes.

Its utter shit!

Chris, quit whining about rules and violations. Who cares? You sound like a little tattle-tale bitch”

I of course meant published. I recently spent years in the Siberian cold of Quebecia speaking the indigenous Franconadian language, so you will have to excuse my temporary lapses in English from time to time.

As for being “a little tattle-tale bitch”, I actually used my power seller status to get the rocketboom twitter account auction delisted on ebay. That was my real time in this sun as an internet tattle tale bitch.

I don’t even honestly think this is a story.

“Company puts X on popular site, gains popular site’s traffic.”

The headline may as well read, “man gets hit by 18 wheeler truck, and dies.”

I know some people are quite opinionated about social media sites and some commenters above do seem a little skeptic of Mixx; but my suggestion would be to give it a shot. You may enjoy it.

For anyone interested in giving Mixx a shot, you might find this post helpful

Overall, and once again, this is great news for Mixx.
