For the people, by the people Jan 8 2006

Newsvine. An example of an exemplary idea, backed up by a superb implementation. Currently in private beta, which I and another 7000 or so people are taking part in (which will expand I’m sure as time goes on - those invited are allowed to further invite others), it really is a great service, and something that has redefined how I read news online. This is because aswell as reading news off-the-wire, I can read news from other users. And I can also write news, and articles, for others to read. If you have a chance to try it, then do it, for those that are signed up, you can see my articles here, with an RSS feed available here. Awesome.
