I'm not sure how many of you have heard of the new web service called Newsvine, but I'm sure you will soon. Newsvine is a service that seeks to aggregate, categorize and present the latest and greatest in both mainstream and citizen journalism, all my attempting to make the latter much, much easier (both to create and to access). All this, and they plan to pay those who contribute content as well based on the amount of traffic that your pages on their site generate. Right now, the project is in private beta (you have to be invited by a current member). I heard about it on both Twit and Inside the Net. I highly suggest you listen to this past week's episode of Inside the Net to learn more about Newsvine. It's a really exciting development in the world of web-based news services. Not only does it provide great access to content and allow you to rank it (much in the mode of Digg.com), but it also provides a great interface in which to view it. I have a limited number of invites left, but I'm reserving them for either people I know personally, or by reputation, to be promising citizen journalists/commentators. If you think you fall into either of those categories, drop me a line, and we'll see if we can't get you hooked up with an invite. That's all for now.
