Mixx public beta launches today

Mixx
Mixx is emerging from private beta today, which means you can check out the latest Digg wannabe without an invitation.

We first looked at Mixx a few weeks ago, and it shows some promise. Mixx works the same way as Digg, Reddit, or pretty much any other social news/voting site you may have seen. Users submit links to articles they think are interesting. Then other users vote articles up or down until the most popular items are on the front page, making it a useful source of news you're interested in.

While Digg has been branching out into diverse subject matter lately, the site is dominated by technology news. Mixx is hoping to attract users interested in technology, news, politics, and other areas. You can click on various tabs to see news related to each topic.

But what really sets Mixx apart is its personalized homepage. You build a profile that includes your interests and you can see the top news in each category all in one place. While Digg is all about the wisdom of crowds, Mixx is about personalization -- and the wisdom of crowds.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
