Interview with Digg founder Kevin Rose
Yesterday I interviewed digg founder Kevin Rose to discuss digg’s popularity, its battle with spammers, the recent issues with GroupThink and digg’s upcoming personalization features. This is the first of a two-part article presenting that interview.As you know, digg.com is a technology news site that over the past 6 months has begun to rival Slashdot in popularity among IT geeks. But whereas Slashdot content is controlled by editors, digg prides itself on being run by its community. Which articles make it to the coveted digg homepage is determined by how many “diggs” they get from the readers. digg calls this “non-hierarchical editorial control”, in a none-to-subtle dig at Slashdot.

hi, could you give us more information about digg tech standards? not the source code just the standards…
what is based on? because i heard a lot about the fact that this “tech” was “copied” by many people…
THANKS
