Mixx, a young social news site similar to Digg, just scored a button under “SHARE” next to the articles on the NY Times site. But this is hardly important news, so what’s the big deal?
The Digg-clone is only about half a year old, and as you can see in the picture on the right, only the the most established of social sites get a mention. Yet del.icio.us, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Fark, and other larger, older, and more established sites haven’t made the cut.
This NYT-Mixx button is money for the young company, and you can bet you’ll hear (or read) the word “Mixx” getting mentioned more often in the future. Now, in order to complete the site’s initiation process into the world of established bookmarking sites, we need to turn its name into a verb
ex: Did we Mixx this article? Yes, we love Mixxing stories (for the record, DLS has no official preference as to whether or not its members like to “Mixx” posts).
