A political version of Slashdot

Slashdot.org was the original blog. Before the term was first uttered, Slashdot was a place where anybody could open a topic on something to do with technology and others could comment. The software that makes it work has been freely available for others to use. In many ways, Slashdot (motto: “News for nerds. Stuff that matters.”) paved the way for today’s blogosphere.

Today, Slashdot.org has opened an adjunct community dedicated to the discussion of politics. “With the US Presidential Election coming up, we’ve had a lot of story submissions that we would like to post, but they don’t fit very well on the Slashdot main page,” writes Commander Taco, one of the Slashdot founders. “To address this, we’ll be running special political coverage between now and the election in our new Politics subsection of Slashdot.”

The new section (slogan: “Politics for nerd s. Your vote matters.”) is already crowded with posts. Visit at politics.slashdot.org
