Does anyone here have any newsvine invites?

http://www.newsvine.com/

Its getting a lot of hype, and right now its in an invite only beta, similar to how gmail was.

Anyone have an invite for me and any other MacNN users? I'll pass mine on to MacNN peeps if I get in.

edit: my email is my-nick @ my-nick.com

I've been on Newsvine since it first launched, and I have enjoyed my time on there. It's a very good concept, well put together. Mike Davidson and his crew have themselves a winner.

I am in the process of doing research for future directions of my college newspaper's website. ( http://www.kansan.com ) I'm anxious for an opportunity to try Newsvine out. I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone could send an email to (remove all doubles) bbeerrggatatkkuu..eedduu

Well, it sounds vaguely interesting, so if you have invites to spare, I'll take one. I'm a .mac member, and my username is ymazuz

Thanks.

same here. seems a bit like yer standard news site with a bit of a user blog thrown in. it was so much more intriguing when we were all trying to peep over the fence and see what was on the other side.

i have a podcast (http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite...?id=116040986), i'm thinking of using this as a news blog for stupid stories but it seems too serious for that. i'm not convinced that this is the type of environment for that kind of thing.

this seems to me to be a "writer's blog" or something

OwlBoy · Jan 31, 2006, 03:25 PM

yay it worked that time!

i've been surfing newsvine for a week now — but i still have no idea what the hell this site is all about

i mean... Digg satisfies all my news needs and if i need something outside of tech — cnn or bbc will do

macintologist · Mar 7, 2006, 03:33 PM

Newsvine is online now!

meelk · Mar 7, 2006, 03:46 PM
