Newsvine!

I recently discovered a great website called Newsvine! What's cool about it is that the stories on it are submitted and voted for by users, and the most popular ones are promoted to the front page. It is like digg, but it features not only tech stories, but all kinds of news. Another great thing about it is that a user can 'seed' news stories onto the site, or write his own columns, and the user makes all of the adsense money generated from the column. Right now, the site is invite only, but I have some invites, so if anyone wants one, just email me at leozh at leozh.net!
