In the photo here, you will see six items featured at the same time on the homepage of Current. for almost the entire day of February 18th, 2010.
You will notice that one of them is different than the others.
You will notice that it is a serious news story about something that actually fucking matters, that happened today.
You will notice that it is ALSO the ONLY USER POSTED STORY on the front page.
That's right. The front page has six slots. 5 slots are filled with non-news items and 5 slots are filled by staff posts, with one-to-one congruity between staff posts and non-news items.
