slashdot used to be my favorite site for tech
news. Then came digg, and now slashdot is
hella weak and all their news is old cuz it
hits digg and cnet first. The current
slashdot is weak.
I've been a Slashdot reader for many years
and visit it and Digg constantly throughout
the day. I'm also a web developer who runs a
popular alternative news site.
Digg is a good source for links to stories,
but Slashdot has better discussions. Digg is
a go to place to find breaking news and links
to useful resources on topics like web
development. I've never found a discussion on
Digg to be that intellectually engaging, in
fact, the discussions on Fark are more
intelligent than Digg discussions. Slashdot
discussions are almost always insightful, in
depth, and useful. All of these services have
their place, but Slashdot still rules.
Whatever. I still prefer reading slashdot.
"Blackbrutha" typifies the Digg
userbase mentality. The comment and
moderation system is superior on Slashdot
because you can actually come away with
insights. Digg is just a bunch of childish
posts mostly.

NO WAY! Digg users are rabble rousing, self
righteous, perpetually adolescent
geeks????????!?!? NO! NEVER.

I preferred when slashdot did their hot pink site for april fools...
But seriously blackbrutha is spot on... the SD is old hat now. It sat on its laurels for too long and has been overtaken.

Although news hits /. a bit too late, the most important part to me are the comments: they're always insightful.
