Slashdot is... not what it once was.
I submitted a story by @sjvn that was accepted and posted over the weekend. It brought under a hundred pageviews.
@LockHimUp Obviously you're Exhibit A for the site losing its readership. I once had 100,000 pageviews from one of my articles, in under 24 hours.
osnews is still around too, but a shadow of a shadow. @sjvn
@estherschindler @sjvn yeah I don't even remember why I didn't visit much after a while.
@estherschindler @LockHimUp I won't be surprised to wander by either site soon and find a 404 in its place.
