MSNBC has acquired Newsvine, a socially driven news site. Newsvine will continue to operate as an independent news site and will not be folded into MSNBC.com, but Newsvine technology will be added to the MSNBC website. That means you'll probably see more social features including user-generated articles and links to news elsewhere on the web. Content from Newsvine columnists could also wind up on ...

Newsvine has launched a major site redesign. The site which thrives on user-submitted news stories is now more user-customizable. Much like personal start pages Netvibes, Pageflakes, or Google Personalized Home, users can add and remove modules, or move them around the website. You can also use RSS feeds to add any news source you want to your Newsvine start page. One new module on the front ...

Just now AOL made its public launch of www.beta.netscape.com, the long-rumored successor to Netscape.com. Being an AOL employee, I've been checking out the private beta for a couple weeks, and I'm pretty impressed. The new Netscape.com (or "New N" as it's been referred to internally) takes the formula proven by sites like Digg and Newsvine and marries it to the editorial process of mainstream ...

Last week Jason Calacanis did a little Newsvine testing. A very interesting read from someone who has played with a lot of web toys just like that one... I tried Newsvine, and found it to be a little lacking. Not in features necessarily (although not being able to link to your own post is wack), but in polish. The UI is a bit cumbersome. The buzzword for cumbersome, so you know, ...

Sociable is a plugin for Wordpress that adds cute link icons to each of your blog posts that users can click on to quickly add the post to their favorite social bookmark service like del.icio.us or news sites like Digg, Newsvine, or Fark. The plugin can be configured to show icons for any of the 24 (and counting) supported services, and installing it is, as with most Wordpress plugins, a snap. ...

After two months of closed beta testing, social news site Newsvine made its public debut yesterday.
