The stories that we launched with are of the more 'evergreen' variety, because we asked journalists to have a number of stories ready for launch. Since we didn't know what time we would be launching at, and we didn't even know the date for sure until a few days ago, it was hard for them to guarantee that they would have stories ready to go.

From now on, stories are much more likely to be up to the minute news. For example, check out [idavar's story on HayStack](http://www.newstilt.com/idavar/news/iranian-techies-eager-to...).

However, I do believe that readers want more opinion, not less of it. I am encouraging journalists to let their own voices be heard in the stories they write, where traditionally they would have held back on that. Its important for them to have a brand, and that their community likes them and identifies with them. Opinion helps here.
