A Look At Newsvine
Idiot Proof Blogging Interface Is Easy To Use, But Offers Few Options
I’ve been involved with a few Blogger websites, and one of the challenges of getting others involved is that the interface has a significant learning curve. It definitely takes a few weeks of using it to become facile, and sometimes folks just give up before that stage.
I read about Newsvine, a new sort of blogging client. It is currently in beta by invitation only, and therefore is clearly prerelease. It is sort of a simplified Blogger, combined with elements of Digg. It is similar to Digg in that stories get promoted and popular based on other user’s opinions. The twist on Digg is that all the content is hosted right on the Newsvine web site.
