A Conversation with Rob Malda - Part Three; the Finale (Video)
Part Two ran last Thursday. Part One ran last Wednesday. This is all a lead-up to Slashdot's Quinceañera, or 15th Birthday, this October. (Cue music: Fatboy Slim's Slash Dot Dash.) In this final part of The Conversation with Rob Malda, he talks a bit about what he's working on at The Washington Post, and leaves us waiting with bated breath for more information about projects he's not allowed to tell us about. Yet. So obviously, we'll want to get back with CmdrTaco before too long for an update. Meanwhile, please get ready for the Slashdot 15th Anniversary Celebration, which is sure to be at least as glorious as you would expect from Slashdot.
I think this illustrates better than most other news how the internet, and the people's interest in the internet, is tied to ideas, to sites, to content and not to people.
In other words, yes, I like Slashdot, but why the heck should I care what he does at WashPost?
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
What I would expect is a story submission stating that it is Slashdot's 15 anniversary and to post your favorite memories about the last 15 years on Slashdot.
Something nice and simple like that.
Don't know something? Look it up. Still don't know? Then ask.
