    It's far too late for them to get the market share back.

    Poor Slashdot. Had they done this a long time ago, it would have worked. Now? There's far too much competition for it to work well, and the longtime users are going to cry out that the site "sold out" and what-not.

    One word to describe Firehose: fugly and completely unusable.
