It’s been quiet on the New Newsvine front for a while, but today is a big update in our progress towards launch.

We’re adding several groups to the Beta. New Newsvine is powered by group discussion, so this is an important step.

A lot has changed in New Newsvine, most of it due to the inspired and thoughtful feedback from the Beta testers. This office has been buzzing for months, and we’re really excited to be nearing a release. Sally and I, in particular, are working and cajoling and crossing fingers in hopes that New Newsvine is out by Moderator’s Nightmare Election Day.

Ask away about progress and details below – the answers are becoming less and less cryptic.
