The New York Times adds a Newsvine Submission Link

The blog Techcrunch is reporting that,

The New York Times has decided to let users post stories directly from their site to Digg, Facebook, and Newsvine. As of Monday, the paper will embed links to all three sites to most of their online stories.

Techcrunch is also reporting that the New York Times contacted both Digg and Newsvine initially. This is a good sign for the respectableness of newsvine, that The New York Times would choose them along with Digg over other social bookmarking sites like Netscape or Reddit.

It will definitely help publicize newsvine, having their icon displayed along with every free New York Times article.

This also is a small validation of all my work over at newsvine. If the New York Times is taking notice of a site where I am a top user, then that can’t be a bad thing.
