***Wednesday's "News for Nerds" on Slashdot: Novell goes open source, Linux
2.2.4 is out and Jon Katz got to be on the Today Show with his dog.***
When Slashdot creator Rob Malda added filtering capabilities to the site
this month, he announced snidely that it was "for all you Katz haters." Jon
Katz, the first well-known journalist to write for the site, is now the
first to inspire a tool for completely avoiding his work.
If you haven't heard of Jon Katz, you must not have read his work for WIRED,
GQ, Rolling Stone, HotWired and the New York Times. Not a problem, though --
Katz made sure you knew about these credits by listing them in full on his
Nov. 17 news item, two weeks after he arrived. And what news did Katz
contribute that day? A poll conducted at his request so everyone could vote
on whether he should stick around. "Do I belong here?" he asked in the
front-page summary of the poll, which was given the loaded title of "dump
the jerk?"
Katz, like most journalists of any stature, considers himself a central
element of every story he writes. Count the number of personal pronouns he
uses in a typical Katzdot piece and the number of times he makes himself the
subject of a sentence. If they were a trigger in a drinking game, you'd have
a guaranteed recipe for morning-after hangovers.
Compare this to the approach that has been taken by Malda and others who
post news on the site. Little is known about them because they never make
themselves the story. They don't even associate their real names with their
efforts, choosing the kind of anonymous handles you'd see in Internet chat
rooms such as CmdrTaco, Hemos and Sengan. Jon Katz's Slashdot handle?
JonKatz.
Katz has used Slashdot as a platform for promoting _Running to the Mountain:
A Journey of Faith and Change_, his new book that's about as far from the
norm as anything ever covered on the Linux-heavy site. There are no Slashdot
icons for mid-life ruminations of a man buying a rustic fixer-upper so he
can commune with a dead monk.
An excerpt from his book was followed quickly with Katz's announcement that
it has become a "surprisingly successful" best-seller. In an industry where
writers must generate buzz, he got it at the most crucial time --
publication -- because of his relationship with Slashdot. Although Katz
minimizes the financial impact, he admits that the trip into Amazon's Top
100 is making a huge difference. Before it, he was a writer "trapped in
mid-list Hell, struggling for a way to reach readers," as he wrote in a
February 22 Slashdot story. Now he has his publisher's "full attention."
Slashdot, from day one, has been a place where the technology was more
important than the technologist. An open-source project where no one cares
who you are if you can code. A brilliant hack of a Web site written by
programmers for their own amusement. An accidental success for all the right
reasons. No one needed to know who Rob Malda was before they were impressed
by his site. Everyone on Slashdot knew who Jon Katz was before they had a
chance to be impressed.
Since he appeared last November, every Katz action results in a negative
reaction. While some say this is driven by his critics, recent events show
why Jon Katz makes himself the focus of attention: Celebrity sells.
Though you might not think the word applies to Katz, the only way he gets
the editorial prominence of Slashdot is through the power of celebrity. The
only way his book falls under Slashdot's definition of "Stuff That Matters"
is through celebrity. The frequent self-promotion of his book shows how an
egalitarian community like Slashdot diminishes itself by rewarding a member
for being a celebrity.
Slashdot is a news community driven by submissions from ordinary people who
make themselves known by their technological acumen. Slashdot's honesty
comes from this -- real people are making the editorial judgments on topics
they know well. Turn the contributors into celebrities and you end up with
people like Jerry Pournelle, who can't review a monitor without describing
his home, spouse, relatives, friends, recently published novel and the
insipid pet names of every computer that he owns.
If Jon Katz really wants to understand Slashdot, he needs to set aside the
self-centered approach that made him into a writer who gets published in
places like the New York Times. The same approach that sent his book into
four printings, as he announced this Wednesday in a Katzdot contribution
about his book tour. By defining his life as Stuff That Matters, Katz sets
himself apart from everyone else in the Slashdot community. "This flap about
me has to do with the kind of place Slashdot decides it wants to be," Katz
stated in November. "I'd rather write about other things."
They're not REAL countries. And Pakistan's another Al Qaeda base anyway? It took Bin Laden a WEEK to get in there and already they're at war with India.

You are clearly a terrorist or a pedophile. Probably both.

UPDATE: If this was a Microsoft issue, you'd all be wanking off that it was taking too long to fix.
UPDATE 2: If this was a Linux issue, you'd be lucky if it got fixed within a MONTH or two.
