On the Newsvine
Described as a newsonomy, Newsvine is a news engine where the user (via a bookmarklet) can tag a news page, leave a comment, and give a rating…they also mention that you can write an item (with your name as part of the URL, so this is some sort of blogging space)
So not only do the users submit a news article (or write their own) with commentary and tags, they also apply ratings, so this is a truly social news site in all respects…more than wikinews.
A similar social news tool is Digg (comments, ratings, tags)…another is CommonTimes, which I would say is definitely a newsonomy.
And more Gabbr, Plastic, Newsback.
Some are saying that this is not a new thing, it’s been done before…this is true to an extent, but NewsVine could take it to a mainstream level, all these others are great, especially CommonTimes, but none so far have made it to the lay persons heart, if NewsVine have the right marketing team they could lead the way.
