It’s about time that I bring the dialogue here since it’s evident that I’m already starting to grow fond of the brand new social network. The Early Adopter Appeal Mixx is a new social news site that went into private beta a mere two months ago. It’s instant. I voted accordingly. Yes it will.

If you use Twitter regularly, you’d see that it wins as a social news site that provides instantaneous news — at least of that caliber. As Chris Garrett explains in his post, if you follow numerous feed bots, you can get the news all the time. The right news will hit the front page of Digg quickly.

So the question arose – was social media traffic misrepresented by grouping traffic from all networks together? Hat tip to Gab for posing that question to me.) As such, it has been selected as the generic social network of choice. Subsequently, Sphinn is perhaps the most relevant niche social network on the web.

Nearly four months later, the social features appear to be here to stay. As Digg becomes more of a social network and less of a social news network (or a hybrid that incorporates both elements), it has a lot of obstacles it needs to face. But are they secure? That’s great. Great post…thanks for the info!

It made me start to question what the value is in posting to some of these social networks. Content aggregators, RSS readers and new social networks are all aiming to deliver the most sought-after content to the people who want the news, wherever they are comfortable. I guess it’s a “social&# problem.

This is not a regular practice on the social news giant, and unfortunately, that is probably the biggest thing causing its downfall. There was only one occasion when the users were able to make a lasting impression on the social news site. I would ask some philosophical questions, however. Time will only tell.

Any company employing such an incentive program is certainly not participating in anything that is manipulative, questionable, or immoral in nature.

The big question of return on investment comes up often.
