Who farks, diggs or SU's?

Anyone here use any of the community based sites? If so, which one?

They're all a waste of time when you realise your input is worthless :(

Well, they can provide a lot of hits for a site. Someone submitted one of my blogposts to reddit earlier and I got 150 hits of it so far.

SU has some quality content as it's not as **** and full of tossers as digg. Yet....

I did wonder why you were making this thread.

Haha. That was only partially the reason. I've never been to reddit before, just digg, fark and SU. When I realised that one of my posts was on reddit I had a look on there and it seems really good [bar the duplicate submissions].

I was just wondering which other sites I may have missed out on.

Linky to these sites please.

I'm sure I forgot some....

Digg is by far the biggest one, however it is being criticised for being an elitist and corrupt system, people sell/buy 'diggs'. Unless a story is groundbreaking and dugg from the moment it's submitted, chances are it's already buried, as there is just so much content on there. To make the frontpage around 120 digs are necessary, but a recent analysis has proven that mostly the same people appear on the frontpage which again proves it's more centred around the site members rather than the content.

A couple of my blog posts were submitted by people to digg.com and it only ever got 30-50 hits and no more than 5 diggs which means it was buried within an hour.

StumbleUpon is very much content based and people actually care about the content, but that is now slowly changing as well imo. More crap content is surfacing. Someone submitted one of my posts to SU once [last November] and it got 650 hits within a few days and is for some strange reason still does....

I am quite liking reddit at the moment, been on there a few days now and it definitely is more content orientated and not half the comments are offensive [like digg]. The only problem is the duplicate submissions. They need to have a better system in place.
