Quoth the Whale 'Nevermore'

Happily we heard you breech
from the banks of central
cameras out to snap your tail
taxi burning petrol

Cheering you, when hoist'd high
rubbered by learned watermen
A great fish caught to be released
far beyond londonium

Sadly, we heard the trail lost
white heart beats no more . . .
once that fed the street lamps
now feeds our flaming cores

Newsvine Beta is now live

Look's like Mike Davidson's Newsvine is now in a private beta stage. Looks promising so far. I'll be interested to see if the blogisphere and the traditional media embrace the new concept of comment-based news articles. One big factor is moderation; many news organizations are publicly held companies and would suffer a public relations issue if their sites were boycotted due to something like foul language, even if included in intelligently written pieces.

What do you think?
