Soylent News has launched!
Friends of this website, Soylent News, have been working hard at a similar project: to replace Slashdot from the ground up. Everything is being driven by the community and volunteer work, and they are now working on a business model; truly inspiring. They have just launched this moment and we want to acknowledge their work.
I agree that pipedot is easier on the eyes though - maybe it's the calming ocean blue vs. Solylent's angry brown...
