SlashTweaks Let YOU Micro-Edit Slashdot

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the do-my-job-for-me dept.

Here at Slashdot, we watched as Twitter distilled perfected minimalized trivialized discourse to just the perfect 140 characters, while kuro5hin Digg reddit WSJ showed us that everyone's voice mattered equally when creating the noise news noose narcissistic experience. We've taken the next step with SlashTweaks. Within each Slashdot story dupe trollbait turdshine you will be presented with several opportunities to make micro-edits: ranging from factual errors or tonal shifts to simple typos. Since Tweaks are just a single word, there is very little barrier to entry... you have no excuse not to participate. Stories will incorporate the highest rated goatse SlashTweak natalieportman grits socially and mathematically guaranteeing the best story possible. Our highest rated trolling karmawhoring paying users can start new tweaks on individual words, while everyone else will be rating existing tweaks. Thanks for your participation and patience while we iterate on this, making sure that we are able to stay ahead of the bleeding moronic romantic cutting edge of webbovation!

    The best April fools jokes I've seen so far today are the Canterbury Distribution and the ThinkGeek "Apple Store" Playmobil set, and the ThinkGeek "Lightsaber Popsicle"

    Just close enough to reality to catch you unawares.

    Agreed. I have come to Slashdot every April first hoping to have the return of the OMG Ponies. It was legendary.

    While I have too high a number to attempt to discuss how the level of discourse has fallen around here, the number of joke articles on April 1 has truly sucked. I'll take a couple GOOD joke articles but that's it.

    Well, at least someone should be editing slashdot. Even if it's only pretend.
