TIME has published a list of their 5 most overrated blogs and Slashdot comes in at #1. Not that I was suprised that Slashdot would make the list. I’ve never quite understood what was supposedly so bloody great about the site. What I thought was interesting was what TIME had to say about Slashdot:
Reading Slashdot these days is like visiting the IT guy at work. He’s infuriatingly smug and cares passionately about stuff you don’t care about, and views your lack of interest as further confirmation of his intellectual superiority. Enjoy.
Now that is funny!
