We're not giving up. Digg isn't going away.
A small but determined team is stepping up to rebuild with a completely reimagined angle of attack. Positioning Digg as simply an alternative to incumbents wasn't imaginative enough. That's a race we were never going to win. What comes next needs to be genuinely different.
We're also announcing something we're excited about: Kevin Rose, Digg's founder who started the company back in 2004, is returning to join the team full-time. Starting the first week of April, Kevin will be putting his focus back on the company he built twenty+ years ago. He'll continue as an advisor to True Ventures, but Digg will be his primary focus. We couldn't think of a better person to help figure out what Digg needs to become.
Lastly, Diggnation, our official Digg podcast, will continue recording monthly while we work on the re-reboot.
