Newsvine Launches

I had a peek at this before it launched and was very intrigued. Newsvine is up and running. What is interesting about Newsvine is that they have taken the model that Digg and Delicious are well known for, community-based tagging of information, and taken it to the next level. You can participate in Newsvine by just tagging, but you can also create your own Newsvine page where your links will appear, and, you can also use it as your own blog. What is interesting is that Newsvine is planning on sharing any ad revenue from your Newsvine page (90 percent, which is a nice cut!) with you.

This model of allowing people to not only tag content, but create unique pages out of it and add their own content could either be the next evolution in tagging, or simply just too much. At the very list the model of taking Digg to the next level and not only showing stories based on how many vote they get, but exposing the first few sentence of the stories content is a step in the right direction.
