SlashTweaks Let YOU Micro-Edit Slashdot 257
Here at Slashdot, we watched as Twitter
discourse to just the perfect 140 characters, while
showed us that everyone's voice mattered equally when creating the
experience. We've taken the next step with SlashTweaks. Within each Slashdot
you will be presented with several opportunities to make micro-edits: ranging from factual errors or tonal shifts to simple typos.
Since Tweaks are just a single word, there is very little barrier to entry... you have no excuse not to participate. Stories will incorporate the highest rated
socially and mathematically guaranteeing the best story possible. Our highest
users can start new tweaks on individual words, while everyone else will be rating existing tweaks. Thanks for your participation and patience while we iterate on this, making sure that we are able to stay ahead of the
edge of webbovation!

The best April fools jokes I've seen so far today are the Canterbury Distribution and the ThinkGeek "Apple Store" Playmobil set, and the ThinkGeek "Lightsaber Popsicle"
Just close enough to reality to catch you unawares.

While I have too high a number to attempt to discuss how the level of discourse has fallen around here, the number of joke articles on April 1 has truly sucked. I'll take a couple GOOD joke articles but that's it.

Well, at least someone should be editing slashdot. Even if it's only pretend.
