| dig vs dot OK, the story is about how Digg Just Might Bury Slashdot. For those of you who are not techheads, Slashdot (or /. if you like) is the ultimate in geek discussion sites. It is basically weblog styled with daily posts and a bid for comments. At times getting "slashdotted" meant getting thousands of people hitting your site at once. Digg combines the idea of "social bookmarking" (bookmarks stored publically instead of on your own computer) with the discussion blog. So you read a story and then "dig it" adding it to your own list of kewl linx. Now it's not the tech that catches my attention but the person behind it. At the Wired story, there is Kevin Rose's little face attached. In my opinion Kevin Rose is the first true webgeek celebrity, combining cred with a personality made for the media. He's everywhere instead of fading once his on-air Screensavers / AOTS exposures went south. Most saw him leaving those shows because they lost the credibility and most would expect a geek who left TV to disappear. Nuh uh, he's out there and still making quite the name for him. If I was 14 he is who I would like to grow up to be. November 17 05 |
