So, Slashdot's staging server lists

So, Slashdot's staging server lists Journals as a new feature. They're apparently blogs that are hosted on their server. This only makes sense if they're still pursuing some kind of page view-based model. Unfortunately, their hosting costs are only ever going to go up as their user numbers increase. But, hey, their business model's not my problem!

Strange that Blogger, LiveJournal and Userland get a competitor in Slashdot. Go browse some sample journals at their (rather meager) Top 10 list.
