Newsvine Registrations Up 963 Percent Since Acquistion ...

http://www.beet.tv/2008/10/newsvine-regist.html

People-powered news site Newsvine has seen enormous growth since its acquisition by msnbc.com last year, receiving 963 percent more registrations and 269 percent more unique visitors, msnbc.com has told Beet.TV. I interviewed CEO Mike Davidson about the Seattle-based social news platform at the Omma Global conference last month.

Newsvine aggregates stories from both large media organizations and individual contributors around the world and lets members vote for the stories they think are most important. Placement of stories on the site is determined by the number of users' votes ad well as freshness and reputation.

Newsvine drives consumption not only of news stories, but of online video: It's NBC Nightly News Discussion Club, launched in January, allows members to watch and comment on segments from the NBC Nightly News.

Newsvine has a moderator name TYLER that is 23 years old I got disabled for saying that an article that was written was racist. TYLER plays favorites, there was plenty of other postings with the same phrase. Guess my political views were different then his!!!!!!! They need to replace him!

Liar! The only reason why your registrations are up. Is because people are getting banned! No thanks to your buddy Tyler the Newsvine moderator has a habit of banning certain people he dosen't like. While he lets other comments slide. Tyler should be fired for this! Once banned from the communist Newsvine. It so easy just to register. Thanks Tyler for banding me! Don't waiste your time with Newsvine!

FIRE TYLER - He has absolutely no creditentials for the position. Now let's watch what happens. I'll show it all with screenshots on YouTube. Unexplained freeze ups, missing posts, etc. He thinks he's America's censor- not for long!

This is BS. The Zionists made the Havaara agreement with Hitler and helped finance him, then when the poorer Jews and Polish Christians were being exterminated Israel founding fathers said, "One cow in Palestine is worth more that all the Jews in Poland" and "From the depths of the tragedy I want to save ... young people [for Palestine]. The old ones will pass. They will bear their fate or they will not. They are dust, economic and moral dust in a cruel world" about, Jews. ZIONAZI network
