Didn't slashdot have you vote on the comments and not the stories, and the stories were still picked by editors? I think that was what was new about Reddit and Digg...they were just user-submitted stories and nothing else.

Yes, but everyone had told them over and over again to change that, they just wanted to maintain control. It certainly wasn't a new invention of diggs, I just used slashdot as the example of reddit being a clone because slashdot was the most well known. kuro5hin was(is?) exactly digg/reddit for example. Social bookmarking sites were around before slashdot too.
