Thing #12

I looked at Reddit, Digg, Mixx, and Newsvine, but didn't want an account with any of them. The Reddit concept of filtered content based on my likes and dislikes does not appeal to me at all. Of the four, Newsvine looked the most interesting. It looked like a site I might enjoy.

I get most of my news online now. I've bookmarked the New York Times, LA Times, Washington Post, CNN, BBC, Kare 11, Star Tribune, and Pioneer Press websites and try to cruise through them in the morning while I drink my coffee. I enjoy comparing the headline news and feature stories--they can be very different from website to website.

I'm not sure how any of the four (Reddit, Digg, Mixx, and Newsvine) could be used in my library.
