    Unbelievably, according to Alexa, Slashdot is only the 301st on the Global top 500. It's not in the top 100 Us sites, nor in the top 100 English sites.

      yeah but that only counts traffic from people with the alexa toolbar installed, which I would assume very few people here have. Due to it being (or used to be?) spyware.

    Who the hell goes to real.com?

    Two things:
    1. I believe the Real Player loads the real.com page in its "minibrowser", so anyone who uses Real and doesn't shut off the minibrowser goes there regularly.
    2. These ratings are generally gathered from clueless people who have let the survey companies install web bugs on their computer. These are exactly the kind of people who use Real Player.
