Slashdot Graduates From Duplicates To Triplicates

Submitted by Khalid on Fri, 2006/01/20 - 10:40

One of the known shortcomings of the popular site Slashdot.org is the frequent duplicate stories.

A recent story I posted on research on how visitors judge a web site in 50 milliseconds later made it to Slashdot.

What is funny, and sad, is that the story was posted on the 16th, then on the 17th, and on the 20th.

Duplicates are a fairly common occurance on Slashdot, and is part of the subculture. While duplicates are often called "dupes" in Slashdot parlance, the term proposed for triplicates is "tripe".
