Newsvine

* news and politics , on the web @ 13:11

The other day I received an invitation to Newsvine, which can best be described as a user contributed news portal. Think Digg and google, but oh so much more. I'm still playing around with the site, but I really like what I see.

The website indexes AP articles before they hit the major news websites, and it indexes user contributed links. Users are encouraged to blog about the articles, and when the site leaves the beta stage, the individual blogs will have ads of which 90% of the revenue will go to the user. Users don't necessarily have to blog. The site itself has an abundance of news articles. It's downright amazing.

I have 20 invites. If you want to check it out then let me know.
