WeFollow.com: Kevin Rose creates Twitter Directory

Of course. My bitching and moaning is entirely due to the fact that others at the company have been able to sell their equity at attractive prices, while simultaneously flushing the company down the toilet.

Would you like to buy some shares?

It might seem a little too ranting if you are unaware of who ojbyrne is but this will help bring more light into the picture. http://owenbyrne.com/resume/

I do respect your criticism, though I think it's a bit hyperbolic. While no one held a gun to my head, I was repeatedly misled by people who I believed, mistakenly, had at least a small amount of integrity.

I am always reminded of the classic Hugh McLeod cartoon: http://www.gapingvoid.com/Moveable_Type/archives/zzzzazzdggg...

Perhaps I'm in that bottom part of the pyramid, but the top section is well populated too.

As with most things Kevin, it was built by digg employees. During their off time of course (nudge, nudge, wink, wink).

I'm sensitive to your accusation of jealousy because I probably am a bit jealous. However I (and most people who know the whole story) think it's justified. I have gotten a little notoriety out of the experience, however, and it's worth something (it got me my current job, for instance), so I intend to speak up about it as often as I can. There's plenty of people who joined digg long after me who are much more extreme about self-promotion. Probably why you haven't heard of me.

You could be wrong. How about having paid twitter users on the front page, or any other page as ad?. Just last week Jason Calacanis offered $250k to twitter, if twitter puts his link on the front page. Once a traffic is established,, not definitely $250k here, but even a few dollars from twitter users for paid links would make him profit.
