You think? OK, "article announcements" then.

I think (but am not sure) that content providers pay for that based on 
traffic to their sites. Anyone else know more about this? We obviously 
can't pay.

I'm working on a list of things we could do to promote evolt content 
online. I'll post it as soon as I make it coherent.

This was voted upon in theforum some weeks back. Your above suggestion is 
what we agreed on.
(which makes me wonder if we should have a repository for voted issues ;)
