Newsvine.com: New type of news site

Newsvine.com, a new type of news site created by four former Disney/ABCNEWs.com employees, is now up and running in beta.

CyberJournalist.net has been invited to join the beta and is impressed with what it's seen so far.

The site is a slick combination of some of the trendiest news-related tools online now, incorporating news aggregation, social networking, citizen journalism, blogging, user ratings and online discussions. Think of it as one-part Slashdot, one-part del.icio.us and one-part Google News, with a few other neat features thrown in.

The site is built around four general actions: reading, discussing, writing and seeding the news.

The site posts thousands of Associated Press articles that users can read.

Among the things readers can do with stories or links: vote for it, to raise it up the Newsvine (i.e. give it better promotion on the home page); participate in a live chat with other users about the story; leave comments; report inappropriate content.

Users can write their own articles, and get to keep most of the ad revenue from those pages. You'll collect 90% of the earnings from your own domain (yourname.newsvine.com). The other 10% goes to the person who referred you to start writing on Newsvine.

Users also get their own page or "column" -- basically a blog-like page that lists all of a users' posts -- with the nice URL of yourname.newsvine.com.

And users can "seed" the site with links and comments about interesting articles they've found on the Web.

Two interesting things of note: so far the site is controlling who has access by using the same approach Gmail used when it launched -- an initial number of beta testers get access, and then anyone who has access can invite others they know to join. So it's starting out with people who are likely to be most engaged in the site, and thus most likely to contribute to its success.

The interesting ad model -- 10% going to people who referred writers -- also serves as a clever incentive for users to invite others who are most likely to contribute to the site's success.

If you're one of the lucky few beta testers for Newsvine, post your comments on the site here.
