Silly Marketer… Mixx Is For Kids
If you have been around the social space at all lately, you are bound to have heard of Mixx.
To put it into context, it’s a sort of cross between Digg, LinkedIn and MyYahoo. In a nutshell, its a social network that lets you find and share news based on your interests and location.

So based on all the coverage Mixx had received, including some personal recommendations from some Mixx advocates, we wanted to give it a fair shot and test it out.
I think it is important to point out that as a marketer, you are looking to find a way to use social media as a platform to give your content or sites a large amount of visibility in a short time.

Social Media Voting With VOTRS.com
With so many popular social media communities, tools, and platforms out there, it is a nightmare to try to push anything across the board in social media.
No one wants to be that person who sends messages to their friends or colleagues asking them to Delicious, Sphinn, Mixx, Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, and possibly even hit Propeller for their recent content. Needless to say, that would make for a short lived friendship and possibly an ass kicking at your next meet up.
Luckily, Dan Zarrella has created a great social media tool at VOTRS.com that allows you make a short url with all the top social communities included, that you can send to a friend or colleague and influence the actions you desire.
Head over to http://votrs.com and follow the simple instructions, while selecting the social communities you want to include.
