You Never Know

So I just got out of Greg Stein’s announcement about Google Code Hosting . Someone on IRC mentioned that the site was being OSCON’d and slashdotted at the same time. Turns out Slashdot already had an article posted about the new project. Surprised at the speed to which the news made it to Slashdot, I commented on the story. A few minutes later, Jamie from Slashdot replied to my comment, mentioning he was in the same room.

As the session ended and I got up to leave, I complemented the guy who had been sitting next to me on his reddit shirt. The conversation turned from reddit to slashdot at which point we realized that he had just replied to my comment on slashdot. We had not only been in the same room, but sitting right next to each other.
