Mixx.com is the new kid on the block, check ’em out. That same block that Kevin Rose of digg.com and pownce.com, del.icio.us of Yahoo, and all the rest.

  Mixx has been labeled as the Digg killer. That is quite a reputation to live up to! I’ve been seeing some top Diggers on there too.

  I think it will be interesting to see where this goes …

Mixx is a local DC business. the Washington Post article puts it best, “Several factors have fueled the growth of the area’s Web 2.0 community. Layoffs at companies such as AOL have unleashed a flood of talent into the area, many of whom have gone on to found or join Internet companies.”

here are some local DC tech peeps on Mixx
