Isn't Newsvine's groups-system already pretty close to what Mixx now offers? The only thing that I can think from the top of my head is the style-customization that's missing in the Newsvine implementation.

@zerok I am not sure if anyone has said that mixx is truly innovating. However they have been taking the best pieces of other sites and putting them into one package. The communities are very similar to subreddits as well. However, most of the time, mixx has been doing a better job of integrating all of these features compared to other sites.

> It will be interesting to see if Mixx's competitors like Digg, Newsvine, and Propeller are going to follow suit here anytime soon.

I just couldn't comment there for some reason :-/

And I totally agree with you: Often the implementation here is superior to what other services do.
