The biggest problem on Newsvine right now is too many posts about Newsvine. As I write this, the top 3 "Most Votes" articles on the Front Page are all about Newsvine, the only "Most Chatters" story is about Newsvine, and two of the top three "Most Comments" stories are about Newsvine. If you go to the Technology section, it's worse: seven of the first eight items on the Vine are Newsvine-related. This post itself isn't helping, either.
Admittedly, this is The Launch, so some of this self-hype is to be expected, and even tolerated. Things will get better. But ultimately the problem, temporary or otherwise, stems from the fact that the only real place to talk about Newsvine with people who like Newsvine is... on Newsvine! Ultimately, it will fade down from its present state, but even so we would do well to consider alternate forums for discussion, since discussion of Newsvine is Not News.
Okay, there's my little rant - don't pay it too much attention, carry on... :)
