Digg competitor Mixx just launched an extension to its groups feature that founder Chris McGill describes as “Ning for social media”.

Next week is the
2nd Digg Town Hall meeting.
What do you want to see discussed?
What do you think will happen?
Why aren't you wearing pants?
These issues and more can be discussed in the thread we just started to talk about the next town hall meeting.
Never go to a town hall meeting unorganized. Start talking now about issues you want to bring to the Digg staff.
