    Can someone who is already setup post to usenet about this site? They may want to hear about it.

    At comp.misc everybody is aware of SoylentNews.

    Which of the 110,000* other newsgroups on usenet would you like to inform? I'll put a note on alt.folklore.computers [alt.folklore.computers].

    * Wikipedia estimates [wikipedia.org] that 20,000 of those are still active, but that number is tagged [citation needed].

    How about the one in your sig. I figured I did not need to mention it because of the context of this thread.

      We've had multiple posts about SoylentNews on comp.misc during the past week. I posted the one announcing that the site had gone live, immediately after signing up here myself.
