There are certainly a lot of websites on the market that use the word "future" within their domain name, but are they really futurist type websites? It is preferred often by print publishers and editors that the phrase "future" is a great word to use within titles, since it grabs people's attention. But, when people use the word future and then don't give predictions or future accounts, then are they really deceiving the viewer and web-surfer. I believe they are.
Recently, an editor of another of things type website asked me to write a column, but in reviewing the website I came across it to be underwhelming on the futuristic side of things, and more heavy in to the scientific news arena. Indeed, if the magazine is serious about "The Future" then why are all the articles about new scientific innovations in today's period or happening at this time? - asked myself.

It seems like they're serious about scientific discovery that's already happened, not what'll take the future. That's just boring, more science news, regurgitation, typical human tactic of re-packaging information. I think they can do better, but are holding themselves back, afraid to produce people think, worried that you will get too far from your mainstream, quote "core" band of viewers, which I believe they don't even understand.
Obviously, as an entrepreneur, I understand why they do it this way. It is because they want to earn money and thus sink to a lowered amount of readership, while still pretending to share the continuing future of stuff. Once the editor wished to guard such comments, the indication was that the website was mostly about scientific news.
Yes, I realize that the website is mainly a news site and I ask what does that have related to the continuing future of stuff? Shouldn't the website be called NSIN.com or something that way; for New Science Innovation News? If the website is all about Science News and is an accumulation of everyone else's news, then it is really a copy site of a style that's already getting used and not unique. Thus, the information is therefore the exact same, so even when the articles are written more clearly and easier to comprehend, that is nice, still what's the value to a "science news junky" as there are very few articles on the webpage compared making use of their competition?
Should they called them selves a news site, then you might have "futurist type columnists" anyway, who might project these scientific news items into the future or they might keep the "Future Stuff" motif and promote the futurist columnists.
This would be a training to any or all "Futuristic" type websites as a case study. If you take the future thinkers to your website and have nothing showing them, they will leave. If you are using trickery to get regular readers there, you're doing a severe disservice to the continuing future of mankind, by promoting present inventions since the be all end all. In any event, it's unethical to utilize this tactic on future of things type websites.
