Kevin stands up and gives a presentation at a pre-release party and talks to people about the goods and what’s coming in the future for Digg; Kevin and Alex together spend some time behind the scenes at Digg talking about how it works now, and how it’ll work in the future, and what kinds of changes the users will see.
Also this week, we’re starting a new DiggNation Archive! We’ve been asked to start mirroring DiggNation episodes, and we’ve got the bandwidth and server space to spare, so we figured hey, why not! So starting with this episode (kind of a DiggNation lite, since it’s not as long as a regular episode) we’ll be posting the mp3 to download straight from the TechTV Forever mirror. Enjoy!
