People actually talk with each other and that's something I've yet to see in any other network (It might have to do with the fact that the comments have a large-font display and you actually notice they exist). Also, I've yet to see any bigotry or sexism and that's a first for me. Oh yeah, it ranks amazing in Google, as well as Digg and better than Reddit. I like the Mixx mainly because of the good company

Hundreds of us are hustling over to Mixx right now, on the strength of this post! In terms of features to differentiate one social bookmarking site from another, however, I've got to mention Diigo as my new rising favourite -- as an actual online research tool, not particularly for page ranking or community. In fact, so far I haven't seen much in the way of community there, but that's probably just my own shrinking-violet style... and what I find most useful is the ability to highlight text or add a sticky note at a particular paragraph on a bookmarked page. That way, it's easier to remember why I bothered to bookmark in the first place! :D Ah, so many bookmarking sites – the only way to choose between them (because clearly, it’s not possible to cover them all) is to go with a recommendation from a trusted source.

I love the crisp and web 2.0 look, but most of all I love the community that's more respectful, interested and engaging, as opposed to the digg trolls. Too bad it doesn't send out to much traffic, it's pretty decent from that perspective as well too I guess. All in all it's a great social media service.
