I agree with the above commenter. StumbleUpon is where it’s at. Plus, the comments and traffic potentials are that much greater.

Green social voting site Hugg has announced on the homepage that they will be closing up shop at months end.

The digg like site was a fave among many green bloggers like myself, as it was a good source of green and eco friendy news.
Due to maintenance…

The problem with Hugg is that there’s nothing much social about it. Nobody posts comments, you can’t add other Huggers, you can’t share stories. And stories with 7-8 quick huggs would make front page. A guy I know once made 10 gmail accounts from a single PC, registered at Hugg 10 times using these addresses, and then submitted a story and Voted for it from all 10 accounts. Unsurprisingly, the story made front page in 10-15 minutes.
And their support was pathetic. So frequently, I would see Breast enlargement submissions and similar stuff.

In comparison, MindBodyGreen is a bit better. There support is good and all. However, the problem is that they aren’t marketing themselves and aren’t that famous. And their design isn’t as flashy and attractive as should be. Result: You don’t get much traffic even if you get to front page. Also, they have a weird algo. Almost always I see, whenever a frequent user submits a story, it automatically gets 6 votes and comes to the front page, then goes down sometimes.

Care2 seems to be the best if you want to socialize and find like-minded souls. However, the problem with Care2 is that their site is so sticky that one of their users will go to your site, will submit your story, and then, he will copy your whole article, will paste it as the first comment, and all of them will start discussing it on Care2 without bothering to visit your site. Again, you won’t get much traffic even if your story hits front page.

Suggestion: Use StumbleUpon instead. I don’t need to say anything else. Just try it and you’ll see.
