socialmedian helps people easily discover and share news with their social networks.
On socialmedian, users can create and join topical “news networks” on any topics. Users can also follow news clippings of people in their social graph, and be followed. The site also enables users to share news in/out of their social networks.
The service aggregates news articles from around the web, which are filtered by topic. Users can pre-define which keywords and topics they’d like to receive news on, and they can also submit articles to the site by using a bookmarklet. Stories can be viewed either in chronological order or according to popularity on the network. A more thorough description of the site can be found here.
