Updated continuously by citizens like you, Newsvine is an instant reflection of what the world is talking about at any given moment.
How likely are you to recommend newsvine.com to a colleague or friend?
Whats up with this? They're asking us if we'd refer others to the site. OK fair enough, but I answered the poll and didn't have the opportunity to elaborate and I didn't get any poll results either. If you'd like, feel free to share and explain your response to the poll here.
I went with a 6. I would have gone higher but there's just too much inflammatory and hateful behavior that I'd be subjecting my friends and colleagues to. Some of them however would love the heated debates. I suppose it all depends on which ones we're talking about.
#1 - Fri Oct 28, 2011 2:50 AM EDTGet out of my head NNN! I swear I just logged in and saw that poll and had the exact same thoughts and I also gave it a six. Then I come here and see your article. Wonder whats brewing?
islandgirl - I'm thinking that they may be wondering why participation has fallen off so significantly. Right now only 3 articles showing on front page. Hmmmm
"8"...For about 3 months out of every four years, and on topics that don't include the words: Abortion, Muslim, Christian, or Vote..."10"...I have and will continue to pass the word, but I'll also include some caveats..."Collapse Nazi's", "Bee-masters", "Step-parent Moderators"
very few discussion sites out there that doesn't clutter it's site with band-width eating ads
I've brought a bunch here. They don't always show up, but I have a lot of gaukers showing up to read my content from around the world, including NOAA, US Commerce, NMFS, Coast Guard Administrative Law Judges, and have had an article be the subject of redacted FOIA documents!
Fishermen from every coast review my stuff.
#2 - Fri Oct 28, 2011 4:48 AM EDTI have told few people about it, they stop in to look but none have made an account yet.
#4 - Fri Oct 28, 2011 7:15 AM EDTI've told friends and though they might check out my articles, few register and participate. Those who do register abandon their accounts rather quickly.
As a Noob, I have to be neutral. I thought I would wait until I had stars on my shoulders before I started recommending the site to others. As a general rule, Privates don’t recruit :o)
#5 - Fri Oct 28, 2011 7:51 AM EDTThank you Abby - accepted. You may want to check your comments to see if I did that right :o)
I've recommended the sight to several people. My boss is one, and he became a member. I invited by "brother-in-law" only to discover he was already here. And my son is also a member.
#6 - Fri Oct 28, 2011 7:56 AM EDTI've recommended the sight to several people. My boss is one...
Safe to assume no more posts while at work? :o|
I voted neutral. What I see on some articles is so offensive that I wouldn't want my friends to think I condone it.
#7 - Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:16 AM EDTWell, the problem is, that at times this site seems like a niche site catoring to a particular shade of the political spectrum and as such is at times hostile to those who are not that shade.
#8 - Fri Oct 28, 2011 11:01 AM EDTCome on over to learn about the only bi partsan issue in the country, US Fisherys!
A short video of last Saturdays Gloucester rally. You will hear the references of bi partisanship.
Comment #1.28 located here has a bunch of videos. Most are not very long, but worth a listen.

Congressmen Walter Jones and Barney Frank 's Fishery Science Testimony
Each week on WBSM in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Bob Vanasse of Saving Seafood joins host Phil Paleologos to discuss issues related to the fisheries with news-making guests.
Congressman Walter Jones (R-NC) discusses his recent legislative success with the Jones Amendment — a measure to strip funding for the implementation of new catch share programs by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The measure passed the House of Representatives by a wide margin of 259 to 159.
These are a few examples of so many good people working together for a common cause, jobs in a now sustainable resource, our fish.
Um. Oh. Ok. Kewl. :)
Good to see that not every issue has a line drawn through it. Were that more didn't.
I voted 10. I recommend all the people I know to the site, but I'm afraid that I don't know too many people, being a loner and all.
I guess not everyone is as addicted to political banter as I am. I learn so much here at the Vine, I love so much about it.
Sorry I can't live without it and try to get all to join.
#9 - Sun Oct 30, 2011 8:38 PM EDTI was once extremely active on Newsvine but it has become increasingly insignificant to me since I have taken my activity to Google+. There's just too much vitriol here now. If you don't post something political you don't get any attention. Trolls abound. No thanks.
#10 - Mon Oct 31, 2011 12:46 AM EDTI understand.
When I put up a seed with a juicy headine about poitics, Its like drawing bugs to the flame, but if I seed something different about something of substance, it won't get the traffic.
Maybe the name should be politicsvine.
