who digged digg and where?

// March 6th, 2008 // society, technology

An interesting question asked here at a panel discussion with some web 2.0 “guru’s” handled a question asked by the audience.

Kevin Rose ( the founder of Digg) explained the steps that brought Digg the critical mass in the audience:

  1. Kevin’s own blog had about a 100 readers. He started posting its data here.
  2. The application was used by some friends of the readers of the blog, and they communicated it to their friend.
  3. At a certain point, webmasters started to notice the amount of hits coming form this new site, and started blogging about it and linking to it
  4. And the rest is history

The first requirement was off course the fat that a cool application was needed to have it started. No matter how powerfull the network is, a noncool application will not be picked up.
