You could add a section for post-checking of /r/futureology type techno media sensational claims about how this or that ground breaking new xyz which works great in the lab on rats etc and will fix everything for you!

These overly optimistic/negative press releases can also be damaging to public understanding over time.

That should provide a good source, thank you.

I've started work on Reddit integration (/u/OnTheRecordBot -- it will be a bot you can call, similar to RemindMe!).

Tags are also already present in the backend, but not yet implemented. I imagine they will be come necessary once the number of quotes/topics increases.
