I had something pretty cool happen to me the other day.
On April 23, I visited the Blog of the Houston Chronicle’s Cartoonist, Nick Anderson. He had a pretty funny animated clip of Hillary Clinton & her presidential campaign, and wanted to submit it to Digg. (Check out the post & read all of the comments.)
Unfortunately, [...]

So, lately.. There have been alot of diggers complaining about the algorithm changes. I understand why they don’t like the algo changes, and I feel the same about many of the changes too. But, I know that in time, smart diggers will realize that in order to be successful you must evolve in the way [...]

I’m sitting here drinking my favorite Houston Beer, listening to my iTunes, while surfing around on Digg, StumbleUpon and Mixx. Also, tagging a few sites in Del.icio.us. It’s been a productive day/nite. But, I’m currently thinking to myself, what the hell am I doing thats productive!? Seriously?
Yes, I’m finding cool stuff, which I have emailed [...]

So, I was sitting here drinking my favorite Houston Beer, surfing around on StumbleUpon & Digg, all the while, listening to my “Random411″ Playlist on my iTunes.
I was going thru some of my many RSS feeds, and found a good article entitled “7 Simple Cheerful Activities to Cure the Blues.” I liked it. It made [...]

When digg gives you a swift kick, Mixx is there to put a band-aid (or free shirt) on the wound.

So, last week I got an email from Mixx, but it wasn’t the usual ‘Mixx: There’s something new in Tech News‘ (aka - Mixx Spam) that clutters my inbox. It was a more personal email.
Asking me [...]

So, it’s about midnight right now. I’ve slept a collective 5 hours out of the last 72, and I’m still slightly hungover from the weekend, yet somehow I’m still awake. All I’m doing right now is jumping from one social media site to another.
And I can’t even begin to tell you why.
One of my stories [...]

I use Digg everyday. When I want to read up about the lesser reported stories from around the web, I turn to Digg. When I’m bored, I turn to Digg. When I’m working, I turn to Digg.
Yes. I am a Digg Junkie.
Like many others, I am guilty of getting caught up in the FP challenge. [...]

What do you say about Mixx.com? It’s only a couple months old. Has a small, but growing, community. It’s very similar to digg, but with a refreshing usability. oh…and it has a picture section!
In fact, Mixx is so new that only a small percentage of diggers are even using Mixx. The diggers that have signed [...]

Lately, I’ve been surfing around on digg, and I’ve seen more & more submits that are in completely different languages.
I can’t even begin to decipher what they are supposed to be about. Sometimes they come in spanish, sometimes arabic. Every once in awhile I’ll see one in french or chinese.
