Which should be nice, Mike Davidson said somewhere that it won\'t be an issue for other news services to be listed on the site. Supposedly MSNBC wants to keep the site as pure as possible. I\'m not sure what that means, but for it being MSNBC\'s first acquisition ever it should be an interesting thing to keep an eye on.

I just hope Newsvine doesn't turn for the worse. It's kind of a strange move for a "social news" site to be bought by one particular news source. How is MSNBC going to feel when there is an ABC story on the front page? It’s pretty sweet for the Newsvine folks and props to Mike Davidson for getting some hard-earned and well-deserved bucks.
