Thing 12: Social Media Sites

I liked the interface for Newsvine the best. I could not find the sharing tools when I located an article in the NY Times. When I tried to "Digg" an article in BBC News, it first told me it might be a duplicate and then I got an error.

Although I haven't read a story as a result of seeing it on one of these sites, I can see using these tools as a way for an individual to scan news stories or for a reference librarian to regularly scan.
