It started with slashdot.org, then I double teamed them and digg.com, and now I am in a relationship with reddit.com. Don’t get me wrong, this is not meant to be a stab at any of the three, but reddit just has something the others do not.
And no, this is not meant to be a pissing match between the three, but more a commentary on where I see users wanting technology to go.
Starting with slashdot, they are the old school big guns, and still hold a very warm place in my bookmarks. As time went on, there was just too much duplication between them and digg and reddit. Slashdot also started to lag a little, as their post moderation system is still admin driven.

Some asswipe who takes me too seriously sent me this email:

Dude you really need to get a life! her family is a friend of mine and she is really a sweet girl, her sister is super cool, mom well she’s a rock star mom. her dad is a rock star in his own right… you… well probably just a person who needs to drag people down in order to compensate for a small dick
