NewsvineJust got my invite for Newsvine so spending some time checking it out.

Basically it is an news aggregator site mixed with community news creation with all sorts of tools.

  • Read – Direct sources and feeds from AP and ESPN amoung others
  • Write – My own column if I choose to write it
  • Seed – Point to other sites

Every day I spend at least some time surfing news sites like NYT, BBC, Google, and WSJ. Recently I have been using Digg and Reddit as ways to also get to content, but in general have been unimpressed with what gets voted to the top of the page.

Some of the tools that can be used on every article is vote, comment, live Flash chat, and reporting. Some of the articles are audio also. Overall I agree with the positive reviews and look forward to running it thru the paces.

I have my own invites, so let me know if you want to check it out.
