The other site like that i see a lot of things from is PhysOrg. Treat both with caution.
In general, i think the problem with sites like this is that they contribute to the public's sense that "oh, scientists say one thing this week, another the next." Since the public doesn't understand the tentativeness of most preliminary research and the importance of building a consensus before feeling work is reliable, these sorts of things give them the sense that the whole endeavor is two steps away from chaos. Which is very unfortunate.
Ok, rant over - sorry i used your post as an example.
