Clipmarks - A Possible Digg Killer?

I am a huge fan of digg and I’ve been using it for over a year so. It is one of the sites that I check compulsively I love it. Today I stumbled across clipmarks.

Clipmarks is another democratic news website but the UI is super slick. The main screen is designed with two columns. The left side is an AJAX style, auto-refreshing list of all the submitted stories and on the right the content of the post is displayed. Clipmarks also has a “digg” feature which they call “pop.”

Clipmarks also has a Dashboard that allows the user to customize their categories, even to rename the categories! By default you have access to the following: science, technology, politics, health, humor, entertainment, internet, war, and religion.

Although I really, really like Digg, Clipmarks seems like a great alternative. But time will tell if they have the same quantity and quality of articles as Digg has.
