I do stuff on the Internet
So much has been said and written about Digg in the past couple weeks since it was announced the final assets of the once-mighty site were sold to betaworks for the seemingly paltry sum of $500,000.
I really didn’t plan on writing another post about it, but my piece on Punk Views on Social Media was noticed by the good folks over at The Pulse Network and Tyler Pyburn asked me to appear on his weekly show, The Pulse on Digital Marketing.
We talked about several interesting topics, including the actions Digg took that helped destroy its community, how Reddit managed to thrive and what other sites can learn from Digg’s mistakes.
The entire interview is less than 12 minutes and embedded below. I’d love to hear what you think about my comments – and if you agree or disagree!
