Hi and welcome to my blog! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and do come back.
Could Mixx be the Digg Killer that many have been waiting for? Maybe.
I think that Mixx has gotten something right because I immediately liked what I saw. The user interface is great, well laid out, clear and easy to navigate. Immediately I think that they have a leg up on Digg in this area.
To be honest, I really couldn’t have been bothered with yet another social, web 2.0, vote-up-vote-down site. So what I did was tell Mixx exactly what I was interested in and then subscribed to the RSS for things that interested me. Fantastic.
The next thing that I must note is that the content on Mixx seems to be more relevant. Fair enough, I am only subscribing to a feed that I asked for, but on Digg, finding things that interest me and are relevant is a hit and miss sort of affair. Mixx again seems to have attracted users who are posting relevant and important info.
If nothing else Mixx will become a great alternative to Digg. Have a look for yourself and tell me what you think.
I tried it out and think Digg still is king. On top of that it is being hyped too much as it is only a Digg clone. Anyone can create a site like this by downloading open source Pligg, which is how Mixx was created.
I joined about 4 of these clones so far and think Mixx isn’t near the best one, which is Earthfrisk.com with a lot more features than this Mixx.
i love mixx. it seriously is nice. it cannot touch digg right now, but i think it’s moving forward.
i think people need to stop thinking of the next digg killer, and just enjoy the sites that best suit them. besides, it seems yahoo’s new venture will become the real killer.
mixx is fun, and the admin at least respond to users. in fact, admin is right there when you need them.
