Can Someone Send Me A Newsvine Invite Please

February 4th, 2006 • Related • Filed Under

If any readers are registered for the Newsvine beta could they please email me an invite. Newsvine sounds like it could be an interesting service, based on what cavemonkey has to say about it:

…articles are automatically managed by the website. The website figures out how the articles should rank by a number of factors. The freshness of the story, how many times people view the article, and how many people vote for the article are all factors which go into the rating.

Did I just say vote? Yes, that’s correct. You can vote (and report) articles just like Digg; but since the votes aren’t the only factor, stories are less likely to be subject to user stupidity. This system works very well, and just because no one has voted for the story, doesn’t mean it won’t be the top story.

Sounds like another ‘Digg beater’ in the making.
