Social Blend, yes, was primarily designed to focus on Mixx, Mixx users, tips and tricks for Mixx, and so on. However, our secondary focus is on social media in general - which includes Digg, as well as Stumble, Reddit, even sites like Flickr and MySpace. On the whole, however, we usually do just let it fly during the recordings. We start rolling, and we see where we end up when we've stopped. In addition, the 'negativity' you hear is mostly on my part I'm afraid... I'm a ranter, and love to rant. Some people find it humorous (which is why Greg's mail sack came about). Kudos to you for the feedback... we seriously appreciate it. Greg Hey guys,

I just wanted to respond to Corey's comment. Corey here's the thing Greg used to be one of the top submitters over at digg and was banned for a very stupid reason. So of course there's going to be a bit of distaste there. But the main reason I think they talk about digg is because there might be some people who stumble upon social blend who are digg users. So they try to take advantage of this and try to shed some light on digg. I could be wrong though. I have yet to listen to the podcast yet but I will very shortly.

I know some of you guys have this pissing match going on between poeple at/on Digg (I hear about it in the podcast, I see it in the comments, etc). For what its worth, why do we all have to hear you air your dirty laundry back and forth? I - and I imagine many others - am here to learn and get the most out of Mixx and social networking in general. I am a newbie so it is possible that I am missing something but in my experience, the best way for you to make these poeple go away is to: A) Kill them with kindness. "Respectfully" disagree and move on. or B) Ignore them and they will go away. Don't give them the satisfaction - and your time - by stooping to their level with your reply. I run a Fantasy Football blog and this strategy worked like a charm. It shut the negative poeple up, rallied my subscribers around me and saved me a bunch of tie and energy. Bottom line, you guys all seem like good guys and I m learning from you. I just wanted throw that out there. Thanks, Corey Hey guys,
