jZnat's Journal: More fun with Slashdot tags.

Back in September, I posted the revised story from RFK Jr., Was the 2004 Election Stolen? Surprisingly, it was accepted as a front-page article, and not surprisingly, it got a lot of attention. In fact, in its top 3 tags, it remains the top story for each: yes, no, flamebait. It also ranks pretty high under troll, one of the tags reserved for John C. Dvorak (don't forget idiot, the other alias for Dvorak).

Some interesting tags (well, not really) include fud, notfud (people still don't know how to use the !fud syntax), yes, no, maybe, idiot(s), troll, flamebait, moron, stupid, boobies, (omg)ponies, chairs/chairthrowing, duh, netcraftconfirmsit (a recent one), finally/abouttime, good, bad, haha, holyshit, itsatrap, kidsthesedays, lame (not LAME), noshit, obvious, ohshit, ohsnap, pwned, sharks (accompanies most stories that mention lasers), wtf, yeahright, and yay. On a related note, the top tags for del.icio.us, for example, contain none of those tags; they're actually useful! Oh my!
