Mixx.com

If there was ever a time to join a social networking site, it’s now, and the site is Mixx. Mixx is a fairly new social networking site that is constantly growing. At the moment it’s not very hard for users to get their articles to the front page, but plenty of traffic still comes from the site. Mixx definitely isn’t small, but in comparison to digg you could say it is.

If you sign up for Mixx now, and start building up your profile, then you have a great chance to become of of the power users of the site. We know that many people use social networking sites to boost their website’s traffic, and I’m one of them. I signed up to Mixx hoping that I could become one of the top content submitters on there. (this will be my first post submitted)

I created a group called young webmasters, so if anyone wants to join then feel free to. You don’t have to be young, or even a webmaster, you just have to be someone on mixx :D. (more specifically in that niche).

Tips and Reminders:

• Build up your friends. friends vote for their friends topics.
• Don’t ignore your friends. You shall get what you give :).
• Vote for other articles besides your own, this way people become fans of yours for finding and submitting good content from all over.

Happy Mixxing

Juicy Campus

Apparently another guy was arrested over making an obviously fake threat on the internet today.  The threat was Made on JuicyCampus, which is a site where kids/teens can gossip about their schools I guess.  Something I would never use, but I guess it’s pretty popular (It is now! lol).  I know threats are wrong, and you shouldn’t do it in real life, nor on the internet… but I definitely think that the people should be given a little more slack when it comes to the internet.

Despite school shootings being horrible, I’m certain mosts teens have made some wise crack about pulling a VT, and even elaborated on that.

This person was arrested for writing:

“I wonder if i could shut down the school by saying I’m going to shoot as many people as i can in my second class tomorrow.I hope I get more than 50,”

George So says, and then goes on to add

“For liability reasons and IP tracking I won’t leave it at that. But seriously, this site is rediculous [sic], if it got big, and someone put the effort into writing a big long serious suicide note informing all readers that he would kill over 100 kids, they could shut down the school. Nice.”

To me that doesn’t even sound like a threat, but the police thought that it had to be taken seriously.  Obviously with all of the recent school shootings, they needed to be careful.  George So’s colleague told the campus police about the post, and the campus police then told the city police.  George So ended up being arrested, and his apartment was searched (where no weapons were found).

So… long story short, much adieu about nothing.
