NEW YORK MSNBC.com has acquired social news media site Newsvine.

Newsvine focuses on bridging the gap between traditional and new media with a site that provides news from the Associated Press and other organizations that is placed and added to by the Newsvine community. MSNBC.com will keep the six-member team in place, and it will remain a separate entity based in Seattle, MSNBC.com GM Charlie Tillinghast said. Terms were not disclosed.

Tillinghast said Newsvine has built an interesting site in the space since it started in March 2006.
