What’s New at Mixx?
Mixx is constantly evolving into one of the best social news sites on the planet. The continuous addition of new features and improvements not only adds to their ‘awesomeness’ and makes the service fun to experience on a day to day basis.
December brings about a number of additions and improvements.
- People Search: They have added a People Search feature so that you can find out which of your friends is also a Mixxer—and let your friends find you. Simply use the regular search box and enter any name in the search field. On the results page, you’ll see a new “People” tab that will show a list of matching names.
- The Trophy Case: Mixx knows how proud its Mixxers are of their awards and for some, how badly they want to win (don’t worry—they approve!) For months now Mixx has been tracking all of those awards and now Mixxers can show them off in their very own Trophy Case. There’s a link to it on each Mixxer profile page, that is at least for Mixxers that have won awards.
- Polls Improvements: The Polls feature has quickly become one of Mixx’s most popular features and many have offered suggestions for poll topics, as well as ways for them to improve the feature. So consider this YAURF!™
- Mixxers can go home again, or at least back to closed polls.
- Comments and conversations on polls will now appear in ‘Your Conversations.’
- The Polls tab can now be found in the Category tabs as well as in Popular.
- Suggest a Poll! Tell what burning question you want answered.
- New Mixx Tour: Whether you’re new to Mixx or just want a quick refresher, there’s now an easy-to-navigate tour of the best Mixx has to offer, from finding and sharing content to voting and, yes, even making friends.
Finally be sure to friend us on Mixx. You’ll find our profile right here.

I just started using Mixx more frequently. It definitely has improved since I first signed up for it. I was actually turned back on to the site after their Senior Web Developer, Doug March commented on my blog following a post I did about their day of the ninja logo.
The fact that someone from Mixx took the time to comment and even ask for my feedback added to the value I saw in the site. Clearly they care what their users think and on top of all the other improvements I think this is important.
Just thought I’d share one more positive about Mixx along with your list.

Thanks for the post Dave, and thanks Mike for the comment. Anytime you have a question about the site or a suggestion how to make it better you can contact me personally. I will get back to you as soon as I can. Suggestions, complaints, heck just telling us “ur doin it wrong” (we like “ur doin it right” also) are ok, we love feedback.
