After exploring the various sites, I decided to join Digg. I liked how you could customize which kinds of news you wanted to view. I submitted an article from the BBC News into their "offbeat" section, and browsed around, "digging" a few articles as I went. I came across an interesting slideshow of an Albino moose-the pictures were taken in Montana. This item has received 3472 diggs so far. Although I liked this site, and many of the articles were very interesting, it can really be a time-waster. Its kind of like reading an on-line magazine. I'm not convinced that social media sites are actually a better way to become "in the know" than traditional news sites or news media, but they are certainly an interesting alternative, and something to be aware of.

It's funny, I hated Digg and prefered Mixx. We all have our own likes and dislikes even in similar 'things', I guess that is why there are many to choose from.
I also see you got the links working! Keep up the good work.
