[...] Newsforge is not on my list, though there regularly are great stories there like a local report on BarCampEarth (hat tip: Chris Messina). [...]

Jesse, I have no doubt that ION is awesome. Its awesomeness is just not something that appeals to most people.

I also remember when http://overstimulate.com/ was an awesome site. Now it just has a page title of “Here Be Pages”. Liar!

First, ION is awesome! I used it heavily while doing tuxtype dev (eg, when I was in grad school)

Secondly, newsforge does seem to suck. There was a time when it had a lot of great writing, but that time has passed.
