Newsvine is like Digg, a site that collects user-selected content and allows readers to browse popular stories in every category--except Newsvine is more friendly for journalists and writers.
It's quick and easy way to create a reading community from scratch. But don't take my word for it. Check out this testimonial from Newsvine reader, Ardith:
"One of the many good things I get from NewsVine is a way to stretch, get warmed up, and write, about different things, in a fun (most of the time) setting, every single day. One older friend, who's pretty much of the opinion that all of the Internet is a waste, has remonstrated with me for 'wasting time' here.
"My response is that when a concert pianist has a performance coming up, they don't practice just the week before. They practice all the time. And they don't practice just the performance pieces-
-they play others. Every day."
