I only feel this way because our purpose is mainly to promote Maemo and the developer community in some way or fashion. It would be hard having to compete for audience with our site subject. I'd rather maybe featuring certain reputable bloggers to write feature spots or something. Otherwise, we'll see the best bloggers leave spaces to fill this new one. Those spaces are communities, and abandoning communities can be fatal for some of the niche communities and blogs out here.

It's already hard to see Maemo.org as the place for smartphone support when that's what you've done for so long. Now they want the news. What is this, Google? What next, you're giving away free navigation, too? LOL!

If we can work together and complement one another, cool, but do we really need another news site? I'd rather less, as long as its not mine or one of my favorites. For some of us, this is a job and part of our livelihoods. So I'm biased, of course.
