After noticing a story on AOL offering Voip, I became curious on how you collect and select news stories for this site. Do you have a wire service subscription? Do you use Google's news alerts? Do you want members sending you links or is that redundant? Thanks, Steve |

We get them from Vonage. Sure, you can send them to us, we do have a link to submit news. Often what we find is that the formatting is hard to work with, then by the time we get it formatted, we have a clean copy from Vonage. |

a) I have a terrible time with the links on the left hand side of the page. I should have seen the submit news link by now. I think there are just too many links there for me. Is there a theme that reduces the amount of data in the left hand pane? Possibly something that allows the sections to be collapsed? b) I notice your stories come from all sorts of commercial news operations and typically their logos are included, but except for the by-line there is no copyright information. How are you handling copyright infringement issues, especially with stories posted into the forums? Is Vonage paying for reprints for the items they send you? |

a) I know, we are looking into this. b) Some sort of an arrangement was made by the prior admin, the details of which are not familiar to me. I do know that we have a file on it. |
