Slashdot

Slashdot is a science- and technology-related news website with articles submitted by users. User’s can comment on the articles that are posted. There is a rather confusing methodology to how posts, comments, and other content on Slashdot are compiled and moderated. If you’re curious, you can read the Wikipedia entry here, which goes into quite a bit of detail.

The URL for Slashdot is http://slashdot.org, and is quite difficult to pronounce. The content found there is pretty geeky (their tag line is “News for nerds. Stuff that matters.”) so I would say that it’s far from mainstream.

Clicking the icon that appears at the bottom of these posts will take you to a Slashdot page where you can save the post as a bookmark and, optionally, submit it to Slashdot for consideration as a story.
