In an obvious attempt at Digg bait, Slashdot launched "Slashdottit" today, which turns the Slashdot interface into a Digg clone. The number of votes being counted is ridiculously huge - as much as 6*10^23 for some stories. That's significantly more votes than Digg's 1 million registered users could rack up.
It's not as funny as a promotion launched exactly a year ago, however, in which the Slashdot interface turned pink and "ponies" began to dominate the site.
In related news, Reddit announced that stories the editors disagree with, plus comments they don't want to promote, may mysteriously disappear from the Reddit homepage. It's always been this way, they say, adding that these are not the droids you're looking for.
