Question:
Slashdot or Digg?
Option 1: Slashdot
Option 2: Digg
Alright, I have to go with Slashdot because the Digg community as a whole is pretty bad- I'd rate it only a couple of levels above YouTube.
For insightfulness, funniness, and informativeness of its community, Slashdot has me. Plus their feeds aren't filled with crap I don't care about. Less is more sometimes.

Both are cesspools as it stands right now. I only visit Slashdot because it has a few articles I might not otherwise see.. digg, on the other hand, is useless. Myspace4nerds.
I like Slashdot myself. I find the stories are generally better written, I can know what the article is all about in 20 seconds, and can decide whether or not I care.
Digg, much more entertaining and less rabid fanboy posts. Plus I'm way into the election and half the front page articles are pro-Obama.
I visit both.
I do believe that you entirely know my stance upon this issue.

While you have a point with your first sentence, it totally is negated by your second sentence which only proves you're a hypocrite because it implies that you like Digg because its community is full of a bunch of Obama fanboys.
obama is a crazy fucking whack job.

Is there even a
such thing as a Hillary/McCain fanboy..? Look at their demographics, I don't think they'd have articles up regardless.
Plus, Digg is user submitted and user voted on content. There's a difference between that, and content regularly posted and known to have a specific slant towards a set of ideals.
It's perfectly possible for Hillary or McCain "fanboys"(Again, do they even exist?) to get front paged. It's kind of hard to be biased all by yourself.

I'm impressed at A/C using a proxy and not revealing his ip!
Who wants to play the "who was this?" guessing game?
I think he's Cory Feldman. Whoever that is.

Better written by whom? Slashdot or the source site of the news?
