There will always be a slashdot, it's an institution. The democratic, bottom-up model isn't bad when it's done the right way (reddit has filtering), which means filtering out all the 15yr olds posting the shameless digg/kevinrose-related promotion. I've used slashdot for years, largely for the entertainment here in the comments (this is actually the first time I've had the stones to post non-anon), something digg can't reproduce.
