Digg - Kevin Rose Talks About It

Kevin Rose, the founder of Digg.com recently talked about the popular site at the Web 2.0 Summit.

He pointed out some cool facts like the 100,000th story to reach the front page of Digg occurred with the story about Rumsfeld stepping down. It hit the AP Wire, and three minutes later was submitted to Digg. Four minutes later, it had hit the front page.This was in stark contrast to Google News who only posted the news 25 minutes later.

Another interesting fact was that 37% of diggs came from the Digg Swarm and Digg Stack tools. They are now working to give these tools to web publishers to see the data for their site in this format, so you can see through Swarm or Stack how stories on your site are being Dugg.
