You are correct. Reddit is more about news than bookmarking. I have changed the post to remove any confusion. Reddit deserves its own post to discuss how it is unique.

Thanks for the comment. I plan on writing something solely on Newsvine in the future.

While my post turned into more of a rant than I had intended it to be, my goal was to try and differentiate these sites into their correct categories.

Too often all the social linking kind of sites are lumped under “social bookmarking”. This is unfortunate for users who begin to think all these sites are the same and offer the same services, which they clearly do not. It is unfortunate for sites like Digg and Newsvine, because they lose some of their market appeal when they are described in these general terms.

- Content is fully hosted on Newsvine (AP, ESPN, New Scientist), in addition to the links that lead to external sites/articles.

- Newsvine users publish original articles, housed in their own columns.

You’re right in your analysis that the true social bookmarking services are built solely to help you keep your stuff organized. At Newsvine, we do allow you to organize your content, but that is not the primary purpose of the service. We aim to provide the best place to read, write and influence the news.
