News update! (updated news) Social media is a productivity enhancing tool; essentially an updated newspaper. As a lifetime lover of newspapers, I feel right at home with social media. I don't have to play unless I want to, but I can still get current news coverage on so many issues and events.

I remember when the public and media were responsive to each other on a fairly personal basis. The social aspect of online news sites is more than expansion of a newspaper format. The online media components allow a familiar feeling of writing and interacting with a newspaper, a feeling that has been lost with exonential population growth and the diverse interests newspapers must serve.

Newsvine is my choice of the social media sites that I visited. The format is pleasing and easy on the eyes, the pages are easy to manipulate and the coverage is good. Just like a good news provider should be!
