Well there are a ton of social news sites and for those of you that don't know what I am talking about this is basically a site that allows users to post news articles, photos, videos.
In most cases the sites then have the users vote on which articles should appear on the more visible pages within the site. Here are some of the more popular examples. Digg, Mixx, Reddit, Propeller, Fark and the list goes on. The question is which one is the best site, first off this really is a matter of opinion that being said you can't argue with the numbers.
As far as overall traffic is concerned Digg is hugely popular at the time of this article Digg has a 237 Alexa rank meaning it is arguably the 237 most popular site on the planet, that's huge! Digg also has one of the cleanest sites of the bunch and is quite easy to use. Even with these two impressive stats Digg can really suck at times because the site is controlled by a select few that insist on making only the articles that they post popular.
These days unless your article is about anything green, Obama (Positive), Palin/McCain (Negative), technology or Apple products you don't have a hope in hell of seeing one of your posts hitting the infamous Digg front page. The next inline as far as traffic is concerned is Mixx which currently has a 1,104 Alexa rank still a very popular site. Mixx doesn't get the traffic but the articles are much more balanced and the site while not quite as clean as Digg is still quite pleasing to the eyes. Reddit has been called the Social News Site for adults and while the posts are usually quite good the interface can honestly give you a headache, great content horrible site. Propeller and Fark run into some of the same issues but are decent.
Bottom line I think Mixx in time will get the traffic that Digg has and as long as they don't let a few select users take over the site the future looks bright! You also have a choice of visiting some Internet Dating sites which have a news section. There is no doubt that this market will grow and more and more examples of these popular sites will start popping up
Good luck, this stuff is fun to go through so enjoy all of these sites.
