''I've never found anything that has the volume that slashdot does. Sure volume is inversely proportional to quality, but I like knowing a little bit about a lot, most of the really fascinating articles I find on slashdot I've already heard from somewhere else, but slashdot does have a nice quality of having 10 or so articles that I can browse when I'm bored. -- PerryLorier''
I read Slashdot through http://www.alterslash.org, Jonathan Hedley's attempt to hand-edit Slashdot. If I see something interest there, I go look at the full Slashdot entry. --GlynWebster
-Hmm, perhaps thats the way to go. I ran for a while "Infomer" which watched for people mentioning [URL]'s on [IRC] and putting them into a blog. It was interesting (people tend to mention some pretty good [URL]'s), but it was very bloated with crap (things that look like url's, but are only examples, people pointing to the same copy of different pages etc). I always wondered about doing up a weblog where anyone could submit a "story" and then everyone voted on how good the story was. Stories voted highly by people who vote similarly to you are shown to you. So 'communities' develop of like minded people who post stories for each other to see. If you abuse the system (rate goatse links up for instance), then you will end up only seeing stories posted by people who post abuse (ie: all the stories you see will be links to goatse). --PerryLorier
