    Slashdot reports that companies like Nielsen are implementing tracked advertising in Slashdot comments. Some of the first sponsors showing up in Slashdot comments include Apple, Microsoft, Google and SCO.

    Slashdot comment writers won't be required to do anything, rather these companies and their products will be auto-linked. Now even a negative story, such as one for SCO, can be a positive!
