This is the first time I have used a social media tool to recommend an article to others. I am a news addict so I signed-up for Newsvine. I found an article from the NY Times titled,"$25 Billion to Promote Electric Cars Is Untouched." I read it, "voted" in an attempt to place it higher on the reading list. Someone else had already "seeded" or recommended it to others on Newsvine. So, I added my comments to his already established trail of comments. Navigating through this site was fairly easy if one takes the time to go through the "Welcome" tour.
I view this particular tool as more of an "at home" tool rather than a work tool. I would like to view this during my spare time instead of at work. I think the tool can possibly be a productivity detractor at work, simply because it takes time to view this information and comment intelligently on the news. I do not have the time at work to utilize this tool effectively. However, when/if I retire it will be a great way to stay in contact with the outside world and write the world's next big blockbuster novel that will appear only online (of course)!
