  1. Here's Read/Write Web's lukewarm response:

    "Digg's main competitors like reddit and Mixx have already given their users this ability, and Digg has been rumored to start adding this feature for a while."

    6 months, hey?! Took less time than that for Mixx.com
    to produce our Mixx Communities...

    Does that make D*gg a (slow) copycat or what? ;-)

  3. Rack up another one for Mixx. Let's see that makes, Photo Section, Digg still talking about users customizing their own landing page (Your Mixx) and now this. Jay , Kevin, how about you try something called originality.

  4. Hey Mixxers,

    I wrote the story being linked up top. You'll be interested to know that when I spoke with Jay and he explained this, I said "Oh. Like on Mixx." Then he asked me what I thought about the Mixx setup. We didn't get a chance to talk much, but he definitely didn't shoot down the comparison I made.
