The Vine

Newsvine Citizen Journalism Photo Pool

Newsvine Survivor's meta challenge brought us quite a few ideas for the future of Newsvine. Celestina's entry, Stepping It Up A Notch: A Vision For Newsvine, gave us the notion of a Newsvine file photo archive, or photo pool.

I'm publicly calling some people out.

I'd like to try something new. There are a lot of folks around here who have interesting things to say. I'd be interested in hearing about the following subjects from the following people:

Why the Sportswriter Shouldn't Have Days Off: What Happens When One Aimlessly Wants to Change Their Topic on the Vine:

DAY - OH, NEVERMIND - The NBA Playoffs take a break today, leaving my patented Daily Picks series to sit and wait until the hardwood action continues. Until then, and more importantly after that... what exactly am I going to do? I feel used. And useless. I feel... 'usedless'.

Thank You For Not Voting - Part 2: The Refugees

When last we left the regular Newsviners a conservative clan, consisting of Cash, Bodhi1 and Adam had kidnapped Killfile with nefarious plans to take over the leaderboard.

Killfile and Adam Hobson: Are They the Same Person?

The question sounds ludicrous. I can almost hear the scoffing and dismissive guffaws that have already come out of most of your throats.

What Happened to Assignment Zero?

One of the problems with signing up for things on the Internet is that e-mails keep coming to your inbox. Like an old flame who keeps in touch, sometimes you are tempted to take another look.

One Year on the Vine; A Good Day

Well, it's been one year. 100 articles. 2448 seeds. 4690 comments. 19303 votes. It was on this date in 2006 that I first contributed to the vine. Oh, the system may say that I've been here since January 19th, but like most of you I lurked for a while.

Necessary Newsvine Changes in 2007

I spent much of last year focused on things outside the Vine. But this year, I turned to my column with renewed excitement and vigor, ready to light up the Vine with dazzling articles and inspirational stories.

Newsvine Articles from the Past Few Months That Have Rocked (Please Add to the List)

In the spirit of the winter break season (sorry retail folks, I did it for 12 years, I empathize), and because the Vine has been a bit volatile lately, I thought it might be cool to write an article celebrating some of the articles I have been most fond of lately.

Chow (a Web 2.0 food web site run by CNET ... oxymoron?) writes an article about making "beer cocktails." I take issue with their Panache, which I've had in France, and is marketed more to youth - the mainstream version is non-alcoholic, but is made to taste like beer.

The Vinecast, Episode 3: Currently Ad-Free, Now Avaliable

Fortunately, we were able to get some more interest from people who wanted to be on the panel this week. This week's edition had five panelists and was the first one hosted by me. Subscribe on iTunes (Reccomended) FeedBurner Feed Direct link (not really reccomended)

Tangle002: Supply side economics - Against

By Djehuty: As it's Sunday night, my time, and I'm an impatient sort of person, I'm going to jump the gun on the post Adam promised, in which he's going to define supply side economics.

Tangle002: Does Supply-Side Economics Help the Poor?

Tangle's been gone a while, but it hasn't been sleeping. No, it's been plotting its next move, and here it is! Tangle002's million-dollar question: does supply side economics benefit the poor?
