I find myself continuing to visit newsvine.com – probably half because of the hype, and half because I really like the aesthetics. It’s kind of a cross between CNN and Digg. Like CNN because they are all news stories (a lot of AP articles) but like Digg in that the front page is determined by votes, and content can come from submissions. It seems to be a key component of the new crop of web sites that importance is determined collectively and democratically, rather than from a centralized body.
