I was so very happy to get up this am and check through my feeds this morning and came across this TechCrunch post titled Digg Refugees May Be Heading To Mixx. I thought for a second and then it hit me. MIxx is a local DC group from what I remember. I had juts seen a post in the DC Technology Network about how Mixx had just launched back in Oct, just last month.
Anyway, I was very happy to see a local group do good, and even more happy to see it coming form Michael Arrington.
The story basically revolves around the fact that there is some major Digg users have left Digg and headed over to Mixx. Some are also writing about their choice and have posted some blog entries.
Personally, I cannot get into Digg. I was happy at first, but then it seem to get a little too big too fast and the head got a little too big. The audience over there is downright vindictive sometimes. I had posted some items and basically got jumped on by others for what was supposed to be a bit of tongue and cheek. They seem to know everything, what I couldn’t figure out is if they knew so damned much, why were they sitting at home hours on end getting their Digg rating higher and higher …..
In any case, it is sooooooo great to see this kind of publicity for one of our local companies done good. Congrats Mixx gang, keep up the good work and good luck in moving forward.
