NYTimes "share" tool acknowledges the power Digg, Facebook, and Newsvine have in shaping the news

The NYTimes has added a “share” tool making it easier to link content from their online edition to these popular aggregators/social networks. This makes sense to me. Instead of looking for the news on their doorstep at 5AM, this is where the next generation of the news consuming public is going to find their news. Social networks will have as much if not more of an impact in determining the day’s most important story for these readers than any editor.
