Where did Digg go wrong? I would argue Kevin Rose lost faith in the company. After launching at the turn of the millennium Digg was king online. It offered a fantastic connections system, simple categories and a very popular front page. Most articles would reach upwards of 2000 or more diggs on any given day. The … [Read more...]

Layoffs have been made to around 12 employees, and it was difficult on the entire staff to part with many members. Digg has done nothing but grow over the past few months, so it's surprising to see a reduction in their team. It seems as though there are still many engineering positions open for the platform, and Digg, Inc. is actively still interested in hiring for jobs. … [Read more...]

Well announced today by Keval Desai on Digg's Blog, they will be killing the short URL service for any stories not already submitted to Digg. You will be able to still share the short URL's from stories through Digg's share feature, … [Read more...]
