After reading Chris Daniele's post Newsvine: News Blog or Myspace for Adults I really got to thinking about why I even use Newsvine. Certainly I want to be informed, and the prospect of doing it in a slick new "Web 2.0" enviroment is appealing. But how many of us actually use Newsvine for more than headlines. 99% of the time I do not dig any deeper then the front page of the site, scanning the headlines. I rarely use the commenting system, and I never seed stories.
I'd be very interested to see some sort of graphical statistic on the userbase precentage that is just like me. So is newsvine the respectable grownup version of myspace? That remains to be seen, though it sure does feel that way some times.
