What Tools Exist for User Published Content?
wbav asks: "Recently there's been a trend to user published content. A couple of examples of this trend include Wikis, Podcasting, Blogs, and the resulting RSS Feeds. Last night I was asked if any other similar technologies exist. As I did not have a good response, that is my question to the slashdot community. Are there any other similar technologies which deal with user publishing that I have not mentioned?"
It's amazing, grandma johnson down the street can design her own webpages and yet this question gets deemed worthy enough for ask slashdot, where as a question I have asked a couple times about a way to tie SSHD into an sql database for user authentication for a running a "shell" instead of having to give 10,000 people user accounts on a machine gets constantly rejected.
It used to be that one would read slashdot for iformation from highly intelligent peers, anymore tho it feel like I should be taking off my shoes and socks as if I am going for a drive through Alabama instead.
A list of tools for publishing.... for cryin out loud, what's next? "Ask Slasgdot: What tools are available that sit up off the floor, maybe has wheels and I can place my butt on it while using the computer?"
I read Slashdot for the headlines, because the headlines, unlike the articles, are usually original and never duplicated
Last night I was asked if there was ever anything worth reading at Slashdot anymore. As I did not have a good response, I said maybe check out K5 instead...
