In March, our two papers were presented on the front page of both Slashdot and Hacker News. After reading a recent post on HN with details of post mortem analysis, we realized that it was important that we share some of our analyzes as well. We recorded in our analytical account, and we were absolutely stunned .

Vive Slashdot
Our interview with Suren Ter published March 14, 2012, presented the most discussion among all messages to this date. We found it very interesting that the wire had lit so much discussion. When a colleague informed us that the article was presented on the website CmdrTaco, we prepared for the impact of the Slashdot effect.
Hacker News aka Literate News
Our article on Hacker News was on the loved and hated Bitcoin. With only 73 votes, the article remained on the frontpage for the greater part of the day March 17, 2012.
analysis
Since there are many variables involved, it would be naive to claim that these results can be used to draw a conclusion. However, it seems that it may be safe to say that the Slashdot Slashdot is that we all knew once. In addition, it is likely that readers of Slashdot scan the titles (or read abstracts / extracts) while pirates on Hacker News read and digest (or click and inactive). It is quite arguable that the content of the stories have played a role in the development of these results. However, based on the autopsy after further analysis of positions HN REFERENCES against the large volume of discussion on our Slashdot'd station, this argument may not be valid.
Statistics Alexa still show Slashdot as more popular than HN:
Web browsers
for the most part, it appears that Slashdot is read by a hand roughly equal Chrome users and FF, , and HN certainly favors Chrome.
Operating Systems
It was a bit of a shock. One could imagine Linux be the suitor of HN, but it seems the legacy of Steve Jobs remains the champion.
Please let us know in the comments if you've had the same or conflicting results to those we have published.
