typical marketer perspective. things that cater to the masses are the most watered down boring cliche products possible. No one bothers with the niche anymore and that's too bad. That's where the interesting things hide.

Slashdot does not require me to link my account to others as part of the deal. Slashdot has no interest in my physical location. Slashdot does not track me on a multitude of other websites (OK, maybe a few that have /. buttons). Slashdot allows me to remain pseudonymous and still access the full range of non-subscriber features. Slashdot allows ACs. Slashdot has content that is generally of interest to me. Nobody on Slashdot knows who I really am.

This is why I have a Slashdot account and why I have never signed up to Facebook.
