Come on. The man is endless fun. We used to have a copy of "Dvorak Predicts" at the office. Just about every page it was opened had something that gave us a good laugh.

Thouh the numbers could have been exaggerated, its a fact that digg could have been much more profitable had kevin thought of selling when there was a market for it. Its one of many examples of how founders enamoured with their ideas tend to push the startup past the prime. Groupon just did that a few months ago. I can see myself reading a similar headline about them a few years from now.
