According to this screen capture posted in digg, it seems that Slashdot.org is beta testing a new functionality that will bring together the outstanding user generated content with the social network effect.The name would be Slashdot Firehose where users would be able to rate and vote posts like in digg. I guess that there are two main objectives:
a) Increase the time that users expend on slashdot.org, social places usually present a higher time per user on the page ratio
b) Create a better segmentation of the users that will lead to more advertisement dollars getting into slashdot.org
