SoylentNews
By now, you have had the chance to read the updates of both NCommander and Barrabas. Nonetheless, you may still be wondering quite a few things about the site and its staff. Here is your chance to ask us anything. These questions can be general in nature, in which case the staff will select a spokesperson to answer it, or it may be specific to an individual. If the question is for an individual, please ensure you identify that person specifically enough.
We will select the best questions from the thread and provide answers to the community. These questions may not be the highest rated, although we will probably use those first.
In keeping with tradition, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one question per post.

One problem with Slashdot is that it didn't seem to care that it was an internationally visited site and would run stories that are only of interest to residents of the USA. Stories about the USA completely unrelated to news for nerds appearing were particarly irksome.
What are the plans for this site regarding this issue? Will you post non-news that is only of interest to the USA?
Note that tech stuff happening in the USA is fine, even if it is political stuff like the NSA or FCC (although posting tech news happening in other countries wouldn't hurt once in a while); its things like the super bowl or pure politics that should keep itself out of a tech news site

I'll agree w/ the super bowl, but politics can be interesting to a nerd. The past couple of elections have been quite the revolution in using tech to get the word out to the electorate.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

USA politics is going to be interesting to USA citizens mainly, not the rest of the world, which was my main point.
Tech usage in politics (or interference in tech stuff from politicians) would be relevant to a tech news site, but just politics from one country is not (unless the site is aimed at the USA only, which is what my question is trying to figure out).
