SoylentNews is people
SoylentNews
I would like to start by thanking everyone who has supported this project through story-submissions, comments, feedback, patience, bug-hunting (the list goes on). Also a huge thanks for the many that have purchased subscriptions. While we can't pay any employees or lawyers yet, it looks like we'll be able to cover server costs going forward, which is a good start.
We'd like to spread the word about SoylentNews, and as we currently aren't pursuing social-media or advertising, we've been brainstorming ideas on how to do so. It occurred to us that word-of-mouth got us here, and it's part of the reason this community is so organic, so we are curious: where else do you spend your time on 'the net'? Would other communities with whom you're associated be interested in SoylentNews? Would they fit in here? Would you be willing to drop a link for us?

As far as i understand it there isnt really a benefit to running the slash code in a cloud set up.
The hosting costs at Linode arent bad; but the admins are looking at how best to have both failover and minimal setup.
As for how to pay for it - thats why we have subscriptions and the swag store.
