BradLeclerc does a great job, while producing Vinecasts, the Newsvine podcasts. If you wish to take a peak to the challenges of the virtual community, listen the latest vinecast: The Vinecast: The Newsvine Podcast - August 6, 2008 I think that the one thing with the Newsvine is, that in the beginning of the Newsvine, it willingly gave an impression of an open online community, with a discussion with individuals, who care about each other. At the same time, it was told to be different from the mainstream. And the members, who joined, really wished to be different from the mainstream. Considering this background, MSNBC was one of the worst partners for Newsvine. Now after 10 months, the partnership with MSNBC has increased the traffic and number of the Newsvine members, but same time it has broken the atmosphere of the community and the original impression about Newsvine being different from the mainstream. I remember the days, when Newsvine got refugees from NYTimes. Now I wonder, where will Newsvine refugees head.
