    Yeah, Mixx rocks it seems. They don't even hate you for being a SEO as an article of mine was submitted to it yestarday and gained 20 votes right away:

    Sometimes you have to say it a few times for us to get the point. We wake up and go to the same sites each day and fall into patterns. Thanks for again bringing this to the attention of others.

    Great review. Thanks for the update. While I agree that there is a big advantage in early adoption, it all comes down to time commitment. With so many social networks available now, it's definitely hard to keep up with all of them. How do you manage?

    I was not aware about Mixx. Thanks for providing this review. Can't hurt to find more social bookmarking sites!
  • Marty · 2 years ago
    Thanks for the groovy tutorial Tamar. You got us excited about the community...gotta go play now.

    Thanks for the mention Tamar. Yes, I love Mixx right now. I started an SEO group over there, so anyone that wants in just shoot me your user name through my blog.

    Interesting new concept. Just when you think there couldn't possibly be one more social networking site...pow, another unique community pops up. Thanks.

    Great story. I started using mixx few weeks ago, and I already feel part of it. Whilst the biggest contribution of social network traffic comes from StumbleUpon to www.edocr.com, I feel more comfortable with Mixx, and therefore thinking of building it into our corporate on-line marketing strategy. Appreciate any thoughts your readership might have on this. Best regards Manoj

    Hi Tamar - Thanks for the heads up. I'd really like to know your thoughts on how you manage your social networks (set goals, etc) for them. I know from personal experience it can be time consuming but at the same time I see the value and fun of becoming involved. Perhaps this could be a future blog post?
  • Tamar Weinberg · 2 years ago
    Thanks Lisa (and Gyutae) for that excellent question. It's a hard one to answer but I'm considering the future blog post approach. ;)

    Why is there always a rush to these types of sites when anyone can create their own. Just go to pligg.com and see and download the software. Its free. Besides all for the hype to Mixx, which has lots of less features than even earthfrisk.com seems dumb. Like we are all being told that it is the in place to be when it is not.
    Digg users are all over the place, including Reddit, Slashdot, lots are at stumbleupon and so on. Why so up on Mixx - again it's jsut another pligg site and digg clone. If you want to go to a digg clone try earthfrisk, at least there is more to do there and cool people.
  • Tamar Weinberg · 2 years ago
    Mike: because all Pligg clones aren't created equal. Sure, I see people selling Pligg clone websites on eBay, but what about the community? You can't just start a Pligg clone without a community and expect that it will be a success. Mixx already has a damn good community (if it wasn't evident by my post) and it looks like it will be successful. Your mileage may vary, but perhaps instead of suggesting Pligg, you can actually give Mixx a try as I did.

    Looks very promising, indeed. Might as well jump in right now, if anything it should work well for leveraging my new blog's launch.

    Thanks for the call-to-action :D

    thanks tamar...just signed up based on your description and evangalizing (is that a word?). I'm new to your blog but really enjoy it. just checked out mixx and it seems so much less overwhelming than digg
  • Frank Levert · 1 year ago
    It is surprising to see that Mixx brings me more traffic than any other social network. I know where I will spend more time in the feature. I like dark horses anyway. :)
