Does “Web 2.0″ mean anything more than the name of a conference yet? I don’t like to admit it, but it’s starting to. When people say “Web 2.0″ now, I have some idea what they mean. And the fact that I both despise the phrase and understand it is the surest proof that it has started to mean something.

[...] Most don’t really create anything (notable exceptions Newsvine and Backfence) but instead are simply repackaging news that other people create. Without the efforts of News 1.0 and Bloggers, News 2.0 doesn’t mean anything. Its not News 2.0, but instead Repackaging News 2.0. We need to find a new descriptor. I do agree with Cashmore: they all look increasingly similar, which doesn’t behold good tidings for the future. [...]

It will be interesting to see how NewsVine and Topix compare head-to-head once NewsVine launches. Chris Tolles used a lot of the same descriptions for the Topix relaunch that Om uses here for NewsVine.

[...] It’s been about a week since we took the first layer of secrecy off of Newsvine, and everybody over here couldn’t be happier at the reaction so far. Without a single dollar spent on PR, marketing, or really any organized effort to get the word out, Newsvine found itself on the front page of CBS News, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, GigaOm, TechCrunch, Russell Beattie, and hundreds of other places. Like David Hasselhoff, we’re even apparently big in Germany. [...]

[...] crank the newswine (aka Newsvine (good thoughts about it are here)): Again, what an idea!? I am still thinking about how they will make money but I guess someone will come up with some kick ass “rss-based, tag-oriented, soap-compatible widget” which will do the job. Awesome idea. This ks definitely sooething to watch out for. [...]

[...] Some are saying that this is not a new thing, it’s been done before…this is true to an extent, but NewsVine could take it to a mainstream level, all these others are great, especially CommonTimes, but none so far have made it to the lay persons heart, if NewsVine have the right marketing team they could lead the way. «« Previous: RSS Readers: pay attention to OPML!

Add Crisscross News to your list. Ours is a global news network with social networking (currently in beta until) on the side. It is a follow-on from Japan Today, the world's largest news site about Japan in English.

While newsvine sounds interesting, I think their focus is too wide. I also know that user-generated editing does not work -- it drives the most sensational stories to the top and devalues the breadth of news.

Hi "bobafart". Nice name. I would say that, on the contrary, your comment has "been done to death" since I seen you cut-and-pasted on a couple of blogs now.

Which reminds me... need to really make sure that troll filter is working for launch. :)

On a serious note though, everything in the world has been done before. When the cheeseburger came out, don't you think there were a lot of people saying the hamburger had already been done? I bet cheeseburgers outsell hamburgers now.

Bobafart, I suppose Google should not have gotten into search because, at the time, there was already Yahoo! and Alta Vista, Excite, etc. Perhaps a few shortsighted folks believed they were too late to the game.

I think there are plenty of good news sites out there, Newsvine is just taking some of the best aspects from a few of these and enriching and expanding on that. Also, I would not be too quick to judge, given that the recent leaks are just the beginning of what we're going to know about Newsvine and their aspirations.
