Thing 11, Social Media

Thought you'd might like to view the latest in fashion.

Anyway, after scrolling around in Mixx, Digg, Newsvine, Reddit it seems to me that mixx and digg have similar stories while newsvine and reddit have different similar stories. If I were to use this at work, I'd choose two to review: most likely Mixx and Newsvine. I see the positive aspects of knowing what's "popular" by the viewers--however, the most popular viewings are not necessarily the most newsworthy.

I have read articles because they were listed as "top news." These were on my yahoo page.
