There are a lot of websites available that use the word "future" within their domain name, but are they really futurist type websites? It is recommended often by print publishers and editors that the word "future" is an excellent word to use within titles, as 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 think they are.
Recently, an editor of another of things type website asked me to publish a column, but in reviewing the web site I found it to be underwhelming on the futuristic aspect, and more heavy in to the scientific news arena. Indeed, if the magazine is serious about "The Future" then why are the articles about new scientific innovations in the present period or happening right now? - asked myself.

It looks like they are serious about scientific discovery that's already happened, not what will maintain the future. That is just boring, more science news, regurgitation, typical human tactic of re-packaging information. I believe they can do better, but are holding themselves back, afraid to create people think, worried you will get past an acceptable limit from your mainstream, quote "core" band of viewers, which I think they don't even understand.
Of course, as an entrepreneur, I understand why they do it this way. It is basically because they want to earn money and thus sink to a lower degree of readership, while still pretending to share with you the continuing future of stuff. When the editor wished to protect such comments, the indication was that the site was mostly about scientific news.
Yes, I realize that the site is mainly a news site and I ask what does that have to do with the continuing future of stuff? Shouldn't the web site be called NSIN.com or something that way; for New Science Innovation News? If the site is approximately Science News and is an accumulation of everyone else's news, then it is just a copy site of a variety that's already getting used and not unique. Thus, this content is therefore the same, so even though the articles are written more clearly and easier to understand, that will be nice, still what's the worth to a "science news junky" as you will find not many articles on the site compared using their competition?
When they called their selves a news site, then you may have "futurist type columnists" anyway, who might project these scientific news items into the long run or they may keep carefully the "Future Stuff" motif and promote the futurist columnists.
This will be a training to all or any "Futuristic" type websites as a case study. If you take the long run thinkers to your website and have nothing to show them, they will leave. If you use trickery to obtain regular readers there, you're doing a serious disservice to the continuing future of mankind, by promoting present inventions because the be all end all. In any event, it's unethical to make use of this tactic on future of things type websites.
