Slashdot Mirror


Introducing SlashBI

By now you’ve noticed that Slashdot is growing. We recently introduced Slashdot TV, which offers up everything from “amateur” rocket launches to the return of Leisure Suit Larry. We revamped our newsletters. Now we’re launching some new sites devoted to very specific corners of tech. Our first one, SlashBI, focuses on the fast-changing world of business intelligence, and features articles and opinion pieces on everything from how Big Data and analytics could make salespeople extinct, to B.I. apps for your iOS device, to choosing the right database for a business. No matter what your background, chances are good you’ll find something of interest here. Swing on over, give it a look-see, and let us know what you think.

    Yeah that was my first thought scanning it, "Slash Bi", "Leisure Suit Larry", "Swing on Over"...
     
    To quote the simpsons:

    Fox turned into a hard core porn station so gradually I didn't even notice

    How soon until Slashdot goes NSFW when they realize they can triple their profits by using a combination of their high google page rank and streaming cut rate porn instead of hawking News For Nerds, Stuff That Matters?

    Can I suggest the sub-site SlashBiCurious, since some of us aren't really into BI but want to know more about it.

    Finally a place for the uninteresting stuff, so they don't have to put it up on the front page.

    Im outta here. It's been a good 10 years, but this reminds me of when Coke changed their formula. It's been fun guys, but I is outta here.

    Anonymous Coward! Nooooooo!

    What will we do without your countless comments on every story? Even when the story was stupid and no cared, we could always count on you to pop in with something to say, even if it was only a "first post!". (I know you got modded down for those "First!!" posts, but somebody had to get the ball rolling and you were always there when no one else was.) You've been tireless in you support of this site, and we've never really thanked you for it.

    We're gonna miss you, old friend.
