DOUG MARCH from MIXX will be on Social Blend TONIGHT - Post your Mixx questions!

[cGt2099]

Post you Mixx questions here and we'll ask him them during the podcast

[gbarberi]

When will I get my train?

Why do you wear pants the way you do?

And finally, what color are the walls in Mixx's offices?

[DeathWish808]

What can I redeem my Big Kudos bats and 10-coin pieces in for? I can't find the prize list. :-)

I have several questions, all kind of revolving around the same idea.

I think the best part about mixx is the community, and I hear that from others all the time. My biggest fear for mixx has always been that the community would someday be like digg's (sexist, immature, abusive, petty.) In fact, one of the first comments I posted was stating this fear:
http://www.mixx.com/stories/13820/digg_refugees_may_be_heading_to_mixx

With the recent bannings, there have been a flood of new digg refugees and some of them are not savvy to the mixx "etiquette." My questions are:

• What is mixx doing, or what can mixx possibly do, to maintain the respectful nature of the community?
• How can new users learn that the mixx community is different without obfuscating the sign up process?
  

Thanks for taking the time out to consider my questions

Tell gbarberi that he won't catch the train because you have Ninja Skillz!

Oh and gbaberi go back to sleep or you'll miss the train!

Haha in all seriousness though.



1. I sometimes view mixx on my phone, however browsing can be tedious through the main site. What about a mobile version of mixx? Has one been put in the que of the things to do or does it already exist and I just didn't know? The iPhone Version looks great on my LG Voyager but alas it is not compatible with the limited browser that is built in.


2. With "Time Out" now implemented how much has this affected the fight/war on spam? What goes into considering if some one should be put in "Time Out"?

3. Who would win a Battle if they had to Dual it out? Less Than Jake or Goldfinger and why? (Note: These are bands in case anyone didn't know.)

What are your opinions on the comments and discussions raised by the Social Blend crew about Reddit and Mixx in the recent podcast?

Has Mixx changed it's marketing strategy? I don't have the link but it seems in the past, I used to hear that Mixx aims to be an all-in-one start page for social media and recently the tone appeared to have changed more towards Mixx catering to different Social Media users as opposed to being a one size fits all entry to the crowd of social media services.

Do you think this change of marketing was also impacted by the recent criticisms with Digg? I notice the features seem to go in line with the recent rise of Digg refugees or was this just coincidental?

One of the things brought about by the recent Social Blend was the vagueness of the term "Social Media". In 141 words or more, will you share with us your personal as well as Mixx's interpretation of Social Media?

Finally your recent changes to the Mixx login page has broke LastPass's auto-login feature where it only fills the password section and not the username section. That's actually a bug report rather than a question but I've been too lazy reporting the problem to both services so I'm just taking this opportunity to post it here just so recent listeners can get a live preview of how Mixx treats it feedback.

Oh and just to spite you for offering login options to Yahoo accounts and not Google accounts, how much do you "like" the new IGoogle design?
