Newsvine Guilds Thoughts #001: Guild Creation

I've been asked to keep up a dialogue within the community about the potential future implementation of Newsvine Guilds. To that end, I bring you this post: I want to delve a little bit more deeply into exactly what we mean when we say guild.

A Set of Newsvine Ideas, Submitted for your Consideration

Lots of updates to the site of late, and I haven't made a long-winded request for new features in a few days so here goes:

The Newsvine Voting System

There has been a lot of discussion lately on voting, and how the system does, should, or can work. Many different ideas have been thrown around, in many different areas, and there are still quite a few people, who don't understand why the current voting system is in place.

User Groups Revisited: News Guilds, Vine Corporations, and Language Squads

The Idea In light of recent discussion, I'd like to bring back an idea I posted about a few weeks ago.

Copyright concern

Although the thought parked itself in the back of my brain since joining Newsvine, I've often wondered about the site's plan to deal with copyright/fair use issues.

Just another idea...

After reading all of the comments, i see lots of comments where someone corrects their spelling mistakes in a previous comment: eg:

Newsvine is Great, but Might I Suggest

I just started using newsvine and am quickly finding it to be an extremely useful e-news gathering information application tool.

The four guidelines I write by

Prompt has goaded me into writing about how I write. Since I wrote something similar for someone who asked about tips for analysis just this morning, I thought I'd pass those on.

The Vine Grows Stronger

Has anyone else noticed it? It is the emergence of strong authors on the Vine who are putting down what will be viewed as the classic Vine Style.

Newsvine Tips: Planting good seeds

News media-based web sites are only as good as their content, which usually places a strong emphasis on writing. Below are a few tips I've picked up over several years in working in the online media industry that would apply to seeding Newsvine.

*sniff sniff* ... is that...new features?

Hmm, doesn't seem to exist here but I swear I just saw a spell check on the comment thread of the last post I was reading.

Suggestion for the way comments/history work

So I'm sort of in favor of a way to make it easier to maintain a dialogue in the comments - I like the idea that we have debates and discussions in the comments, a lot of thoughts come out, but this is only important if everyone participating is working towards some sort of a syn

Newsvine for Groups?

I have been playing around with Newsvine and found myself thinking of the tags over and over again, in different lights. And then it dawned on me, wouldn't it be useful for groups, such as internet clubs, gaming clubs / teams, etc.

Comment Moderation

There is a common problem among news sites, and unfortunatly I find Newsvine has it. Alright, so it may just be that my history is firmly rooted on Slashdot, however I still feel that few other sites have gotten it quite as right as they have.

Newsvine Hacks: More on tags

Why search for one tag when you can search for two, three, four or more?

Newsvine Hacks: User-topic filters

The more links and posts I've added to my personal archive, the more I've thought, I hit on a range of topics. I wonder if there's a way to isolate the items into different category.

Sharing seeds

I thought it would be nice if there was a quick way to share an interesting seed/post with other members. Just a simply "share this seed/post" button that you would click and it would ask for your friend's newsvine name.

Brilliant idea, curious future

The concept of Newsvine is certainly a fresh one which deserves praise for its early execution. What has me thinking, however, is the path on which it is headed.

Top 5 posts & seeds

As Newsvine gets more members and matures, the amount of posts and seeds each member published will only get bigger and bigger. If some people (i.e.

Group Publishing

So I know the idea of "Group Columns" has been floated around and I know it's on the list of things to be implemented, but I was just wondering how such a thing would work.

Private Posts/Chaotic Anonymity

What if I want to send my friends on newsvine a private message? I know there isn't a Private Message system in place yet, but what if I were to post something with no category and only one tag - say, MyksFriendsWatchThis or something obscure that wouldn't come up at random.

What about if you were to create...

Uh, hope you guys aren't getting sick of me posting things starting with "How about if you..." but I got another one for you.
