- dasbush, on 03/25/2008, -1/+24Uhm, is it just me or does mixx look almost exactly like digg, down to the superfluous last letter?
- DeskFlyer, on 03/25/2008, -1/+19Digg to Mixx: We break servers faster.
- bossm4n, on 03/26/2008, -0/+11I've tried many times to get into mixx, but I still prefer digg hands down. Even though the comment section on digg isn't perfect, it's still way ahead of mixx. In relation to who gets the breaking news on the front page first, who cares? If I want breaking news, I'll head to a news only site. I enjoy the social interaction and commentary here.
- fluidfoundation, on 03/25/2008, -3/+12Digg to Mixx: I'm sorry, what did you say your name was again?
- xpose, on 03/26/2008, -1/+9I just looked at the alexa ranking comparing mixx and digg and laughed.
- SantaClauz, on 03/26/2008, -0/+7Yes, but, can you also get LOLcats and Chain Mail Letters from my Mother's inbox to Mixx's frontpage faster than Digg's?
I think not. - gravityboard, on 03/26/2008, -0/+6well said, i wish i could digg this up again
- hello2usir, on 03/25/2008, -1/+4Judging by your submission history, it's probably not going to happen, ever.
- dvsbastard, on 03/26/2008, -1/+3Well it seems that Mixx has the right idea, as many times I find articles in the upcoming section of Digg (based on the number of diggs over such a short period of time) that I know will make the front page... but they still take a lot longer than they should...
This article is a good example of this... It is way on track to make the front page, but I am wondering just how long it will take from posting this comment for it to actually hit the front page... - Lemm, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2not to mention their favicon is a near exact rip-off of the Miro logo
- Enderplayer1, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2I think this a case of "If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound". Only it's "If Mixx gets stories to the front page faster but there is nobody there to read it does anybody give a damn?"

- solidus636, on 03/26/2008, -0/+1you know the rules, and so do i....?
- calinazaret, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1at least there's no bury brigade at mixx to immediately tag articles with a different point of view as inaccurate.
- Nomadelle, on 03/25/2008, -4/+5Use this site to track if it was buried: http://www.ajaxonomy.com/buryrecorder/ It isn't always accurate though. This story should NOT be buried. It is a great post about new innovations in the social news space. Mixx is realizing a need and acting on it.
- keitarofujiwara, on 03/25/2008, -1/+2The more the merrier.
- jemka, on 03/26/2008, -0/+1Ever.
- Jelvik, on 03/26/2008, -0/+1Gotta say, Mixx was disappointing. I was expecting something exciting... and it just looks lame. Go Digg!
- calinazaret, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1my favorite part about mixx is that people are very rarely mean like this. Come be a n00b at mixx- I guarantee we'll treat you better.
- hello2usir, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1Yes, I choose not to submit articles to Digg. But the fallacy is in assuming that somehow denies me of my right to criticize those that do.
- MAGZine, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1On Digg, you Digg articles.
On Mixx, you Mixx articles? Nope, you 'vote' them. Vote? Brilliant! How Original! We should write a book about this fascinating site. - awesometastic1, on 03/26/2008, -0/+1digg to mix: when this story hits the homepage it may well crash your site. you've been warned.
- DeskFlyer, on 03/26/2008, -0/+1I think you may have to attend middle school again.
- tbd33, on 03/27/2008, -0/+0why was this "buried"? Which part of the terms of service did this violate? Is Readwriteweb considered in "inaccurate" source?
- inactive, on 03/26/2008, -1/+1Digg - FTW
Mixx - FTL - jemka, on 03/25/2008, -2/+1Me to Digg & Mixx; first one to front page ANY of my stories will have me for life!
- Tiler, on 03/25/2008, -4/+3They may be faster but I'll bet they're not as proud of their algorithm as Digg is!
- tbd33, on 03/27/2008, -1/+0umm- thenaks for the friendly advice- very welcoming for a n00b... it is "buried" which part of that did I miss?
- jemka, on 03/26/2008, -3/+1Funny you bring up submission history.
You have a comment to submission history of 757 Comments to 0 Submissions. So, what is it like living under a bridge Mr. Troll? - TheGonzo, on 08/13/2008, -4/+1http://www.mixx.com/photos/171075/local_surfer_in_ ...

YEssssss.....Mixx is going to compete with Digg based on those awesome pictures submitted.... - MostLikelyWrong, on 03/26/2008, -4/+0We're no strangers to love....
- tbd33, on 03/25/2008, -6/+0Help a noob out..... did this story get burried? I have to ceck "show buried stories" when I search for it. If so- how did it violate the rules? Forgive me please if I have this wrong. Thanks!
