Well, I think the whole environment of Mixx is a LOT better than Digg… and the people at Mixx are a lot friendlier as well.

I think that placement on those big media sites is just seizing the high ground, so to speak. Social news is still young. I would say it’s definitely still well on the left side of the bell curve of adoption. As usage moves over to encompass more of those later adopters (bearing in mind there’s probably a large slice of the population who’ll never adopt it) I think Mixx will be well-positioned to grab that audience, but at this point I think their strategy for growth probably needs to be convincing existing social news users to migrate.

As gregory says, the front page is a mishmash… but on Mixx, I almost never visit the front page–I land on my personal homepage, which is pre-filtered to have only the stories most likely to appeal to me. Which is, ultimately, what I think will convert more people to using social news.

I totally agree with gregory. Digg’s front page articles are the same trash and propaganda put out by the media. And the Yahoo front page still sucks.

big media = passive consumers .. so those connections won’t help community feel

and what is on the front page? useless time-waste crap, reminds me of yahoo front page 2002
