Mixx Blog - CNN Jumps Into the MIxx view story

As you may have heard, later today, CNN will be launching “Mixx It” buttons on all of their stories. CNN is the gold standard of news, both online and broadcast, and we’re excited to have them recognize us as being a unique and growing presence in t

I for one am very happy to see Hillary Clinton end her quest for the White House. She and many in the media were convinced early on that she should start writing her inaugural speech before any of the primaries had begun. This kind of arrogant attitude of hers is what turned me and millions of other voters off. She is continuing with her arrogant attitude with her comment that she is the most important female figure in U.S. politics today. I strongly believe though that the dems are making a serious mistake by putting Obama up as their candidate for president. What I think is going to happen now is that Senator McCain will win the presidency by a huge margin. Maybe even a landslide. When Senator Obama gives his concession speech he will mention that McCain's win is proof that America is still a racist country. This will spark comments from Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton that the African- American community has been snubbed again and racially motivated riots will break out in Los Angles, Chicago, and Detroit. The talking heads in the news media will then try to place the blame for these riots on President Bush .

I have only been using mixx for a little while but I enjoy it. It seems refreshing and i am able to find stories that i don't see on digg. However, am i wrong in thinking that as more mainstream sites with lots of users start using mixx, it will be just like digg, where all the stories on the front page will come from just a few sources, and once again smaller sites and blogs will be obscured? I guess just enjoy it 'till then.

CNN is hardly the gold standard of news. Have you ever looked at their front page stories? Though, this is still good news for mixx traffic-wise. Congrats.

@dmoyers First- We lov that you are liking your experience! We know that we have a long way to go and we are never done. One of the thins about Mix is that you can tailor it to YOUR interests through the use of tags, being able to follow specific people and public and private groups. It is NOT one-size fits all and we know that people are not clones of each other. So Again, you can just set it up your way and run in the crowds thatyou want to.

Please keep the feedback coming- we are never ever done here.
