My Newsvine Column

Leo was kind enough to send me an invite to the invitation-only Newsvine beta. Over the last week I’ve been digging around in this new web-based news application trying to decide if it’s good, worthwhile, valuable, etc… So far, I’m truly impressed.

A basic overview:

The site is split into two, Associated Press articles and what they call The Vine. AP articles are automatically inserted into the website, while The Vine is a combination of user’s articles and seeded links. User’s articles are written directly on the site about a recent event, a hot topic, or just an opinion. Seeded links are in a way similar to Digg, because users scour the internet for interesting stories and then submit them to Newsvine. (read more)

Zungu’s (White African’s) Newsvine

In my right navigation bar, right under my RSS feed for White African, you can see my feeds from my Newsvine column. If you’re interested in Newsvine and want to give it a try, shoot me an email. I’ve only got a couple invites though, so please be serious about making it a better application if you want one. [hash] [at] [whiteafrican.com]

  1. Oh yeah I remember this, picked it up via Lifehacker.com. I signed up for invitation ages ago, never received one – damn them Commie bastards.

    Oh and great blog, have grabbed the feed.

  2. Zungu, nice column, I just came across it on Newsvine and thought I’d give you a shout out.

    Wezzo, if you have a hotmail address it’s likely your invitation got picked up by your junk filter.
