Last week Jason Calacanis did a little
Newsvine testing. A very interesting read from someone who has played with a lot of web toys just like that one...
I tried Newsvine, and found it to be a little lacking. Not in features necessarily (although not being able to link to
your own post is wack), but in polish. The UI is a bit cumbersome. The buzzword for cumbersome, so you know, is
"rich" or "deep." Mike D., from Newsvine, comments on Calacanis's blog the interface is designed to
reveal more features over time. That's true of most software, which doesn't make it better. At any rate, another
channel, Disinformation, has an interview with Calvin
Tang, co-founder of Newsvine available as a podcast. They even talk about scuba diving. Anyone out there using
Newsvine on a regular basis? Mine's superpixel.newsvine.com.[Thanks to Willy for the link]
