>>I've noticed that UT front page constantly features WebGUI -related news. I was just curious to find out about the selection criteria for UT news, as WebGUI certainly isn't the only .NET application framework out there. If the news section is supposed to be an objective news section, shouldn't it cover news equally from all frameworks? Otherwise it may start smelling a bit like advertising...

Seems to me you should decline "news" items from members who have a vested interest. Or at least disclose it -- "Joe Blow is CEO of WebGUI, Inc."
