Thing 12

I tried out several of the different news sites.  I posted a comment to one of the articles in Newsvine, which was very easy to do.  I also forwarded one of the news articles in Mixx to my husband.  I played around with Stumbleupon, but felt rather frustrated.  It doesn't work with Safari, which is the browser that I use the most and when I put it on Firefox I still wasn't able to get it to work the way I thought it would.  I can see using some of the news sites.  I find myself looking at news sites more often than watching the news, due to the fact that they repeat the stories so much.  When I go to a news site I can choose which ones I want to hear about and therefore save myself time.  I can see where this would make sense for media centers to link to these kind of sites for their users.
