Also, regarding the new Breaking News format, might I suggest a slightly larger character count for the snippet than the current 500 char's? It always seems that the meat is in the third paragraph. I know there are ways to get around it (edit), but I just thought I'd sugest something like 1K char's.

To be honest I thought that is what we are supposed to use. The submit story page asks for the "Article Headline." By that I was under the assumption that it is referring to the source article and not a created "Thread title."
