I reviewed Sloashdot and OhmyNews for comparison. Slashdot is a more technology oriented blog. It contains user generated content, but content submissions are reviewed by editors before posted. OhmyNews is similar in that there it is user generated content, but with a much more strict submission requirement. Specific rules are laid out, and checked for by professional editors. The top stories are chosen chosen by hired professionals for the site.

Both sites rely on users for their content, but each go about gathering said content differently.
