Today someone said to me “Hey check out the cool design competition posted on Slashdot!”. Using my sixth sense I said “It’s the 5K isn’t it?”. Indeed it was, and it got on Slashdot because of a Wired article. I said in, I’ll admit, a bit of a snobbish tone, “I read about that WEEKS ago on tons of weblogs!” (OK, “weeks” may be exaggerating a bit, but not in Internet time). And the person said “Oh. So does this mean Slashdot isn’t cool anymore?” And I replied “You got it! Reading weblogs is WAY COOLER!!” (I realize some people call Slashdot a weblog of sorts, but it’s not what I mean when I say “weblog”.)
