This entry was posted in the following categories: Guides, Home / Office, Productivity
There are many kinds of newsservices available over the Internet. There are RSS feeds, XML feeds, web sites, portals, the works.Well, a new service is trying to launch into that newsspace, and its called Newsvine.
Newsvine wants to be the Digg.com to the not-so-bleeding-edge masses of online users, whose primary source of news still comes from traditional sites like CNN and MSNBC.
What makes Newsvine different, though, is that they are not simply a culmination of mainstream media sites, they also include blogs and stories found on the net and submitted by their community of users.
And, when we say "blogs," we don't mean personal blog entries a la Live Journal, but rather blog entries that are more like news stories -- editorial journalism at its best.
Submitted stories are auto-tagged, categorized, and displayed online without any filtering. To find anything on Newsvine, the URL would be newsvine.com/subject, where subject would be news item you want to read about.
To sign up for the service, go to their web site and enter your name and email information. Users will be entered for their beta service. The other way to get Newsvine at this time is via email invitation (a la Gmail).
