Bulbanews is a news service that you can contribute to. The lifecycle of an article is very simple:

Unlike most news services, your submissions to Bulbanews are immediately visible to all and are included in updates to the front page (under the heading developing stories) -- so even if there are no editors on duty, your contribution will not be missed.
