What Your Favorite Web Sites Say About You
Jimmy writes to tell us that CNET is running an article on what your favorite Web sites say about you. One example takes a look at the possible origins of Facebook readers; "The typical Facebookers are what you'd get if YouTube and Flickr went halves on a baby. Yes, the site was created to help university students connect and have a good time, but connecting and having a good time generally involves unruly, drunken behavior, which is inevitably caught on film and posted for your entire friends list to see.'" The article also takes a look at eBay, Flickr, Slashdot, and several others.
My favorite site is one that posts noninsightful stories with titles designed to grab maximum nerd traffic and also lacks a print link to let said nerds bypass the ten pages of ads.
If Slashdot were chemistry it would look like this:Cadaverine
Scotty load the missles.
Aye Sir, fully loaded with 25 Gigatons of sarcasm
Add pedantry
Yes sir, 45 Teratons of pedantry added
And some anonymity too
Aye Sir, anothe 12457 Teratons of anonymity added

No thanks slashdot. Next?
Your sig(k) has been stolen. There is a puff of smoke!
How the hell'd they get my prom photo for the Slashdot page?
OK, let me get this straight....
A list of what I like says something about me.
Truly, is there no bounds to what science can reveal?
I am well and truly stunned.
4chan.org ... 'Linguini' being a street term for crack cocaine.
What's the story?
4chan.org is an increasingly popular hangout for those who call themselves 'Anonymous'. It breeds misfits, criminals, and The Internet Hate Machine, which is a term that is used to describe the collective processing power of the thousands of hackers on steroids who frequent the site.
Did you know?
Disturbingly, 4chan.org is the source of almost every popular internet 'meme' that has surfaced since 2004 or so.
What 4chan.org says about you
If your favorite site is 4chan.org, you're a terrorist who likes to blow up vans, and should be locked away for a very, very long time. You also like to say 'LULZ' a lot, which is a diabolical corruption of 'LOL', which means 'Let's Order Linguini'
I hear there's rumors on the Slashdots
If you frequent all of them would you then be an EMO, uber geek, trivia nerd, photographer, with an antique obsession, who enjoys poorly made video blogs, and gets smashed reguarly with your college buddies, while constantly chatting about nothing with low self esteem, whilst also enjoy shilling for a has been tech blog?
There's a site for those. It's called "digg".
5 ways to piss off Slashdot readers:
1.) Post a question that is answered in the summary (or better yet, the title).
2.) Use a Slashdot meme in an unfunny way.
3.) Be kdawson.
4.) Post obvious karma whores, such as "text of article in case of Slashdotting".
5.) Write your comments in list form.
Whatever happened to the recognition that stereotypes are usually wrong?
That's a stereotypical response.

...are filled with almost nothing but +5 Funny comments.
I use my +3 shield of suspicion and +2 helm of sarcasm to counter that.
