Mixx is one of my favorite sites where i like to hang around and explore the user-submited articles and to me Mixx is bitter rival to Digg.com, However Mixx is increasingly becoming popular and it is not very hard to observe, many Diggers are very active at Mixx, CNN official site is encouraging users to submit news stories to Mixx and above all their Alexa Rank is now below 1000 mark. However what is interesting to me that recently they have started to show Ads from Google, may be they need to make some extra bucks to meet their server bills. So these ads by google did draw some attention as i yesterday logged on after a long while and I was bit surprised :-}}
