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
How the hell'd they get my prom photo for the Slashdot page?
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
Oh come on, it's obviously tongue in cheek.
Did you read the bit about CNET?
CNET.co.uk attracts a wide variety of users but they almost always have one thing in common: they're gorgeous. Oh, and they like technology. Sure, they use MySpace, Facebook and once, misguidedly, even created a Twitter account (but they're sorry for that last part).
They're the best sort of people to be around. They're highly educated, well-travelled and they possess the sort of qualities every mother tries to instil in her child. They'll one day go on to broker world peace, cure the incurable and are the very reason we wake up for work in the mornings. They're great and we love them all. Even the ones who think we sold them something and ring us up to complain.
Don't start trying to fact check a joke piece...Unless you're doing some meta-humor by living up to their "Suspicion and Pedantry" snark.
ad logicam Claiming a proposition is false because it was presented as the conclusion of a fallacious argument.
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.
Figures. Slashdotters always carry these jokes on far too long.
