Yahoo要免费新闻
在TechCrunch里是这么写着的：“Yahoo wants you to work for their news site. But you might not get paid.”
在早前有介绍过Newsvine，那是一个所有读者都可以submit新闻以及拥有自己的专栏，并与Newsvine分享广告费。早期的Newsvine是不错的，因为那时候并还没开放，会员都是经过邀请才能加入的。可是后来开放会员后，这个我看好的新闻网站变味了，几乎沦为了一些人传达美国帝国主义以及为自己网站得到浏览量的网站。
In the information age, currency of information has high value. As someone who cannot see, I find having to skim many different news sites to stay caught up even more difficult than the average web user. As in most things, off-loading some of this work to the machine is the answer, and what better machine to offload the work to than Google News.

Google也有一个新闻网站。我很喜欢Google News，有趣的是在这个新闻网里你找不到任何广告。目前我还没听说Google News有任何盈利模式。
不过Yahoo的You Witness的概念是与Newsvine的有些不同，Newsvine是让你seed你在网络上找到的东西，而Yahoo则是要你submit照片或短片。
