MSNBC has acquired Newsvine, a socially driven news site. Newsvine will continue to operate as an independent news site and will not be folded into MSNBC.com, but Newsvine technology will be added to the MSNBC website.That means you'll probably see more social features including user-generated articles and links to news elsewhere on the web. Content from Newsvine columnists could also wind up on MSNBC's home page, giving citizen journalists more exposure.
The deal also means Newsvine will have more staff, more resources, and the ability to roll out improvements to the site more often. Newsvine currently has articles and images from the Associated Press, and now you'll see MSNBC content as well.
