My favorites of the selections are Digg and Newsvine. For me, these tools can be either a help or a hinderance; it all depends on my self-control. The tools could be very helpful in that they aggregate all of the most popular stories and let you see public reaction to them. This could help at the reference desk. Another thing that could be very helpful to me personally is the "Gaming" category on Digg. By looking at the top stories, I can moniter trends and see what's up with the "youngsters."
If I lack self-control, these sites could be a big time waster. I can see myself procrstinating by looking at ridiculous entertainment gossip or at a topic on Newsvine called "Odd News."
