Newsvine, the social news aggregating and content site, has been acquired by cable channel MSNBC according to TechCrunch…

Online news site Newsvine, which launched in March 2006, has been acquired by MSNBC.com, a fifty-fifty joint venture between Microsoft and NBC. This is MSNBC.com’s first acquisition.

MSNBC is home to two of my favorite TV shows (Morning Joe and Keith Olbermann’s Countdown), so I hope they make Newsvine something noteworthy.
