New York Times adds Mixx button to the mix

Mixx on New York TimesMixx, 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 bigger, 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

The most recommended stories bubble to the top at several places (along with their respective RSS feeds):

Scuttle: Open source social bookmarking

ScuttleThink you could do better than del.icio.us, Furl, and Yahoo! My Web? Well, now's your chance: Scuttle is an open source social bookmarking engine that you can run on your own site. It's based on PHP and supports most of the del.icio.us protocol, meaning developers who have made tools for del.icio.us can easily adapt them to Scuttle. Unfortunately there's no unified feature list for Scuttle, but you can see it in action at Scuttle.org. If you want to get started on your own social bookmarking site right away, you can download Scuttle's source code at SourceForge.
