Slashdot Discussions Now Include Roulette Video Chat

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the let's-keep-this-rated-pg dept.

It's been a long time coming, but we're pleased to announce the latest updates to our discussion software. We've been paying a lot of attention to what other websites have been doing in the space, and as we are only too happy to steal good ideas, from now on all Slashdot stories will now be accompanied by a Roulette-style webcam video chat. In testing, we've discovered that Slashdot users are amazingly likely to engage in informative, troll-free discussion when presented with the video image of one of their peers. This new addition to Slashdot nicely rounds out and improves the discussion experience for all users.

    This is the first of many idiot-stories for the 1st of April, that will appear on Slashdot. The interesting thing is, ALL the stories are bunk. There won't be a single true one for about 18 hours from now.

    Which kinda kills the joke.
