Newsvine combines the best features of a number of companies and products like Digg and Google News with great features like chat and blogging-style comments. The result is a perfect news site (note that new competitors, like spotback (mentioned here) are aiming to overthrow Newsvine already, however).

The result is a really wonderful social news experience.

Memestreams sinks lower...

[ Hm. One thing it doesn't seem to do is care about reputation, which is the theoretical basis that separates memestreams from all the other similiar sites that seem to be cropping up.

If anything, memestreams should care more about reputation, i think. It should be obvious at a glace who can be considered an authority here. It's something that differentiates this community from others technologically, but it's actual application is unclear. I think that's the major sticking point, honesty.

That, and the lack of a few hundred k of VC, perhaps. -k]
