OLD vs. Digg/Fark/etc
- Q: What's the point of OLD when there are websites like Digg and Fark?
- A: The volume on these websites is often too much for one to consume. Posting in the channel is a further vetting process which helps ensure that only the highest quality information is disseminated.
- Q: What steps can I take to avoid being old?
- A: One of the best ways to avoid being old is to search your scrollback for keywords containing the content you're about to paste into the channel. Another is to idle in the bot channel where you can more easily isolate URLs and content for searching.
