Has anyone actually looked at that site? Holy crap, that's all I can say. I'm floored. It has all the appeal to a longtime/. reader of a piece of dog shit on your shoe. I'm having a hard time understanding how it even came to exist. I'm actually really depressed now.
its not so different from cnet [cnet.com] or zdnet [zdnet.com], and I doubt anyone (like us) really reads those. But if/. wants a special section dedicated to MBAs and CTOs, then its fine - just don't bother us with all that buzzword crap that we know better about.
I'm trying to remember what site it was, but I remember being linked to a blog site just like that - nothing but headlines in little tiles, combined with some clip art and a single sentence. My first thought on seeing that site was "holy crap, they expect anyone to find a damned thing on that?!" and my second thought was Ctrl-W.
This new SlashBI site is "organized" the exact same way. It's completely useless!
Seriously, if you haven't taken a time to look at the thing [slashdot.org], go and do it! It's hilariously bad.

I liked the restrained way they only used "B.I." in alternate headline, and not every single one. Class.
Am I the only person who never heard the phrase "B.I." before today?
Two fucking photos side-by-side both showing a headless guy holding a phone with cubes shooting out of the screen. WTF? And both headlines say something about "business intelligence." it's cringe-worthy. It's really, really sad. i'd be embarrassed to be seen reading.
