I'm interested in these, but the problem is that usually there's not much to say about them. One of the things that will really keep this site going is items which stimulate discussion. Just stating facts alone is OK, but stating facts then positing an opinion ("I think it would be splendid to open up ANWR for drilling! Heck, give me my pickaxe and I'll start the first well!") is even better.
>Should we concentrate more on SF material?
Well, I'd like to see more SF-related stuff, but that's because I'm too lazy to read SF-related news sites. My fault, not yours, but I won't complain about more SF coverage.
A couple of other comments: It would be nice if the polls rotated weekly - they tend to get stale after that. Also, it's difficult sometimes to see what topics have new comments and to see who has posted new comments in an active discussion. I'll chalk this up to shortcomings in the code, though - perhaps it will improve with the next version, but if not I'll still read the site.
>Do we suck or rock?
Definitely rock. Flayrah is growing slowly and I note more and more familiar names are popping up - that's great to see.
