I think the interview is excellent.

I figured out a lot of it over the years, but he gave a big hint.

Post something that will generate a conversation.

that will generate a conversation. Isn't that what the Cluetrain guys realized back in 2000.

Regards #7110 at /.

That's a different conversation: Micro/Macro.

A conversation, or an episode of Jerry Springer? Slashdot is the hot air capital of the Internet. "A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

Yes, you can find useful nuggets. But it takes an awful lot of sifting.

I feel the same was as Tuxchick, but nevertheless I still find myself at slashdot once a day.

Well, Tom pointed me to digg.com yesterday and I am impressed!! I think that's a good replacement for /. and I will probably be reading that for my daily interesting news from now.

(BTW - my /. id is 223, username "dave")
