The main thing about slashdot is that the vast majority of the commenters don't even read any article that forms the basis for the discussion. Slashdotters even have their own acronym for this behaviour.
One can't expect them to even look at www.runrev.com. A minority of those commenters _might_ have read the original short article on zdnet. It's because of such behaviour on slashdot that I rarely visit that site anymore. Instead I've been using news.ycombinator.com to find discussions on interesting technology items for the last few years. I think that one can take comfort from the fact that slashdotters are not the target audience for Rev. But I'm sure that having Rev referenced on both slashdot and zdnet will provide useful publicity. After all, when I first found out by Rev it was entirely by accident. I was astonished that it was not already well-known. Here we are almost a decade later, and there's still nothing to rival Rev.
