I suppose the person who posted (apparently the site's owner) is probably referring to the paper-magazines' sites that are hosted at SF Site.  At any rate, it's also odd that he claims that the sites \"don't have .&nbsp;.&nbsp;. the option for visitor participation that SFBook.com has\"; at least three of the nominated sites have prominent discussions by readers posted.  Apparently what he means is that SFBook.com is a blog, which the nominated sites are not, and thus dependent on visitor participation for quality.<\/p>\n<p>All of which wouldn't really be worth mentioning except that it makes me wonder how many other people think similar things.  I haven't seen much discussion of the nominees as such by people who aren't directly involved with (or dedicated readers of) one or more of the sites; I wonder if there's a general perception that these sites are all about selling paper magazines.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Odd.
