"Mixx, to date one of the best-looking competitors to Digg, the preeminent chieftain of the user-submitted news aggregation world, has announced the launch of its very own Facebook app. And we gotta say, Mixx fans will feel right at home when using the social network as their proxy.\nHaving followed in the footsteps of Digg to the extent that it has in the half-year following its private beta launch in late September, 2007, and subsequently its public debut in mid October, Mixx has done pretty well for itself thus far. Built by Recommended Reading, Inc, it has expanded its scope to encompass a comprehensive array of genres for news and miscellaneous links, all of which are wrapped up in an attractive and easy-to-use form. It has even managed to procure partnerships with USA Today, Reuters, The LA Times, and The Weather Channel. Now it has delivered a Facebook application, something which will surely become a popular asset for the company and a segment of its users in short time.\nOf course, Digg made its presence known in the Facebook Marketplace in early June 2007, before Mixx had even shown itself for the first time. But considering the relatively brief span of time from its autumn \u201907 beginning to the moment its engineers have released a Facebook component to the service, we\u2019ve no qualms in giving Mixx a big thumbs up in light of this news.\nTake Mixx on Facebook for a spin. Tell us what you think. How does it stack up to the longer-standing Digg-based equivalent in your eyes?\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
