Why "Add To Mixx" is on My Site Now

For a while, I had the "Share This" button on my site, which, as you may know, pops-up a window linking to every gosh-darned social news and bookmarking service currently available. And you know what? I doubt if anyone ever used that thing. If people want to bookmark you, they will do so, and they probably have the bookmarklet or add-on they want to use already installed. And as for Digg, well, there’s no Digg-bait here, there never really is, so pleading for a Digg submission seems kind of pointless. The website Mixx, on the other hand, is going about delivering social news in a different way. Whether it succeeds or fails is yet to be seen, but I kind of like the little community they are building over there, even though I’ve questioned some of their ideas in the past. (It was more along the lines of "will this work?" than "this won’t work!", anyway). Now, I seriously doubt if any of my content makes it on Mixx, either, but the flare is just to show my support. So yeah, a little Mixx love for ya.
