So just so people know, I pretty much cut and pasted this from the post at impactlab.com. Some good things on the Internet have a tendency to walk away or become membership based or charged for, and I wanted to make sure that this list stayed in a place were I could access it easily. SO MUCH thanks go out to Impactlab.com for creating the following list of 28 great News Submission Sites (otherwise known as free places to promote online).

1.Digg - Launched in Dec 2004 by former TechTV host, Kevin Rose, digg has emerged as one of the super-traffic communities on the web, allowing the community to decide what's newsworthy and what isn't.

2. SpymySpyMy is an idea conceived by a self-confessed geek who is tired with the state of existing news aggregators in South East Asia. It is based around the model of Digg, where users choose what is to be promoted, effectively defining what is popular without ANY influence of editors or administrators.

3.Flogz - Flogz is a well-functioning personal finance and investing community site where users submit links to stories and vote for which ones should be promoted to the main page, much the same as Digg.com.

4.FarkDrew Curtis developed a site called Fark in 1999 where he used to share some weird news with his friends. Today it is so famous that it gets nearly 400 million hits a day…

5.Aworldofhelpaworldofhelp.com displays the highest rated links from our users right on the front page. When you come to aworldofhelp you see the most recent and highest rated links in many different categories.

9.MetafilterMetafilter is a weblog that anyone can contribute a link or a comment to. A typical weblog is one person posting their thoughts on the unique things they find on the web. This website exists to break down the barriers between people, to extend a weblog byond just one person, and to fster discussion among its members.

10.RedditA source for what’s new and popular on the web — personalized for you. We want to democratize the traditional model by giving editorial control to the people who use the site, not those who run it. Your votes train a filter, so let reddit know what you liked and disliked, because you’ll begin to be recommended links filtered to your tastes. All of the content on reddit is from users who are rewarded for good submissions (and punished for bad ones) by their peers; you decide what appears on your front page and which submissions rise to fame or fall into obscurity.

11.NewsvineAt Newsvine, you can read stories from established media organizations like the Associated Press as well as individual contributors from all around the world.
