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.

I’m not going to lie. At first I wasn’t sure what to expect. A bunch of strangers, all doing what I do on a daily basis, coming together for Happy Hour… I figured this could be [...]

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.

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.
