So, I recently tried out Mixx, and I have to say, it’s looking to be a lot better than Digg.
Pros:
- Local flavor. You can input your zip code and Mixx will give stories that are relevant to your area.
- Personalized homepage. Mixx takes a further step than Digg by letting you add categories, tags, friend activity, and a whole lot more to your homepage. Huge bonus points here. It really helps finding more content that you like.
- More focus on submitting stories. Encouraging user participation is always a plus.
- The pages load without the browser crashing.
Cons:
- Finding things “on deck” (what seems to be the equivalent to Upcoming on Digg) is a bit harder, but bearable.
- No comment threading. How can you live without it?
Even if there are cons, there is no way that they could outweigh the obvious pros. Go Mixx!
