Newsvine social news site launches

Newsvine

After two months of closed beta testing, social news site Newsvine made its public debut yesterday. A sort of cross between Google News, Digg, and Wikinews, Newsvine combines wire news from the Associated Press and ESPN with user-submitted links and content. Like Digg, users can vote and comment on all stories, but that's about where the similarities end. Newsvine has no tech bent and its topics align pretty closely with those at most major news sites, but the amount of content to be found there is almost jarring. Check out the Newsvine blog for the launch announcement and some feature highlights and a look at some upcoming features.
