Nice job Mixx! And out of Beta, no less?

not exactly how I would define the word improv, but cool to watch.

@tamar Sure, plenty of early Mixxers came as a result of being critical to Digg. As are many of the new faces on this thread. Agreed that may not be enough to solidify an engaged audience, but it does say something: these folks were not happy (or banned in some cases) with Digg for a myriad of reasons: functionality, frustration, feature enhancements and the like. It took Digg a while to build up to where it is today. It was also the first. I grant you that Mixx is seeing new members and we'll have to see if they stick around for the long haul. All I was saying was that things were looking promising. And it feels good to be a part of that.

@tamar so.....you're basically saying fuck digg and come to mixx? ;) Just kidding. Agreed that traffic and diversity is what's needed to help Mixx push forward. Compete shows its on a nice run: http://siteanalytics.compete.com/mixx.com/?metric=uv but still needs more to grow. Flocking behavior is important in social media...people naturally want to go to where the action is. As far as the criticism of too much talk about Digg...this is a thread about the ban hammer of Digg's recent bans. So in this case, so much talk about Diggers coming to Mixx is well warranted. And there are several new faces to Mixx on here that were well known from Digg, so it is a good way for them to be noticed quickly. But I also agree with you - there is a "now what?" step that should happen once these folks become well established in Mixx. I also see that Lyndoman has taken heat for his opinions on traffic. My friends, you want folks like Lyndoman to be critical of Mixx. That means Mixx is growing. Look at this post alone. Current count is 173 votes / 92 (93 with this one) comments. That's approaching Digg-like numbers. Sure, that's a microcosm of a much larger picture that is Mixx, but it's still an encouraging step in the right direction. Numbers will come in time as long as there is sustained user engagement for everyone from the casual reader through the SuperMixxer. I've been a part of Mixx since early on, and will say that it's growth has been impressive. Time will tell.

With the HUGE issue going on over at Digg, lately Mixx has seen a ton of new and returning users become more active. However some things are still over looked. So, with that being said, I would like to invite everyone to the "Backdoor" of the Mixx.

0:43 gives half the world something to live for. This is quite possibly the funniest thing I've seen all week.
