Today we have in the studio the writer who posts under the blogonym Celestina Adams. Celestina is one of the top posters at the news site NewsVine. Her column can be at: Celestina.newsvine.com. She also started her own blog at: Celestiniosity.com.
Celestina and I discuss the advantages, and disadvantages, of using the large community website as a platform for blogging. She also gives some quick lessons on the vocabulary, traditions and overall culture of the NewsVine community.
Celestina goes into detail about the opportunities that have opened up for her because of her involvement with the site, such as her correspondence with with two men who were released from Guantanamo Bay 2005. Finally, Celestina gives tips to those starting out with NewsVine on how they can become successful and accepted NewsVine contributors.
