How Kevin Rose Broke His Own Rules
By admin | April 5, 2007
This guy is classic.
Digg will ban a site for “advertising” it’s own content which is against “the rules”. Now someone dugg up a video where Digg founder, Kevin Rose, is promoting his own website, digg, on national tv for free, trying to make it sound like it’s someone elses.
- “The official story is that the site grew in popularity based on a few friends in the Bay Area contributing tidbits here and there until the site grew organically into a major player. The real story is that Digg had a head start the vast majority of websites never get: a free commercial/infomercial on cable television”
Please share this story.
