Wow, I had never seen this previously. Kinda shady, ehh?
It would actually be an interesting interview if someone asked Kevin about shadiness. I note quite a bit of spin in Kevin's bio at the bottom of the article. Digg's inception keeps going further and further back in time, for starters.
Is it really necessary to comment on every single individual mention of Digg so negatively? Apparently you got screwed pretty bad by them, but your posts don't come across as "being in the know", they come across as bitter.
I'm not always negative about digg, and I'm often negative about other aspects of the "new journalism". Mostly because my experience with it is that it's nearly all bullshit, and that disappoints me.
Great how he leaves out the fact that it is his site.
He mentions it on 0:31 in the video.
But later on he switches gears to "they" instead of "we".
He covers his mouth at that point, and it's hard to tell whether he said "mine" or "one." Anyway Kevin did hide his involvement with digg early on (he was a Comcast employee).
wouldn't you think, that as a "celebrity" he'd want people to know it's his site.
