How do I track mentions of my company on Slashdot?
WebRun scans Slashdot every morning for stories and comment threads mentioning your company, logs each one to Google Sheets with its comment count and tone, and sends a weekly roundup to Notion. It never posts a comment on Slashdot itself, so every reply to the tech community still comes from a person.
- Every Slashdot mention lands in one tracked sheet instead of getting missed
- High-activity stories get flagged before the discussion moves on
- No manual searching through Slashdot's archives

Questions, answered
Does WebRun post comments on Slashdot?
No. It only finds and logs mentions. Posting a comment or joining the discussion on Slashdot is left to you.
Why track comment count and tone?
A story with a lot of comments or a sharply negative tone is often worth a faster response, so those signals are called out first in the weekly roundup.
Does it check comments, not just the story headline?
Yes. It reads the comment threads too, since your company can get mentioned in the discussion even when the story itself is about something else.
