Kevin Rose is the kind of person who makes you feel bad for having reached 30 and not made your first million.
He founded www.digg.com in December 2004, investing just a few thousand dollars. By October 2005 the site of popular internet links as voted for by users had attracted $2.8 million in funding and another $28 million in 2008.
As part of promoting Digg.com Kevin Rose started a weekly video podcast called Diggnation where he sits on a couch drinking beer with Alex Albrecht. They start the show with reading out some sponsors and then just bullshit for half an hour, reading out the latest crazy stories on Digg as they get progressively more drunk. Kind of inane and cool at the same time.
Kevin Rose’s Twitter feed is full of 2 word responses to friends and followers which is perhaps the kind of strategy you need to get 340,000 followers and rising.
