What is Newsvine?
Updated continuously by citizens like you, Newsvine is an instant reflection of what the world is talking about at any given moment.
How is Newsvine different from the major news site I’ve been using for years?
Newsvine is a giant collection of news from all over the world, contributed and controlled entirely by Newsvine users like yourself. Whether it comes from the Associated Press, The New York Times, or the BBC, you’ll see it here. Newsvine employs no editors because you decide what appears here. When you read a story you like, leave a comment on it or click the "vote" button above the headline and your input is automatically calculated into the story’s popularity score. What you see on the Newsvine front page every day is a direct reflection of the community’s actions on the site.
Newsvine Tools
Get the most out of your Newsvine experience by checking out some of the Newsvine Tools below. If you’ve developed a Newsvine-related application you’d like to make available on this page, contact us and let us know about it.
Put Newsvine Headlines on Any Site - Whether you’d like to display items from your Newsvine column somewhere else or if you’d like to grab general purpose news headlines for placement on another site, Newsvine JSS feeds provide a dead simple way to accomplish this. With one line of javascript, you’re on your way.
Newsvine Universe on Netvibes - Netvibes is one of the best customizable start pages on the web, with its ability to add almost anything under the sun to your own page in seconds. In addition to the various news, weather, and entertainment-related widgets you’ve probably already added, add the Newsvine Universe as a separate tab and you’ll have easy access to Newsvine headlines, right from Netvibes!
The Newsvine Desktop Widget (Yahoo) - Desktop widgets are a great way to keep up with the news without having to leave your browser window open. This Newsvine Yahoo widget sits quietly on your desktop and automatically updates whenever Newsvine headlines do.
Get Newsvine on your mobile device with the Newsvine Widset - Nokia has developed a mobile widget platform which allows you to get Newsvine headlines to most java-enabled phones (even non-Nokia ones). Setup is easy and the experience is made especially for mobile.
Newsvine Typepad Widget - If you have a Typepad blog and would like to display Newsvine headlines in your sidebar, grab the easy-to-use Newsvine Typepad Widget and headlines will appear and update automatically.
Preview Newsvine stories without clicking on them with CoolIris - Since there are so many stories on Newsvine - some living externally - it can be a pain to click around to every single one of them. With the CoolIris browser extension (available for both Macs and PCs), you can hover over any Newsvine story to get the full text of it.
Get The Flock Browser - Flock is a socially-oriented web browser built on the excellent open-source Firefox framework. It plays well with Newsvine and all other sites and even includes some Newsvine feeds as part of its default installation. If you enjoy Firefox or you’re still using IE, check out Flock today.
