Will people Digg a new front page of the internet?
A platform that first launched more than 20 years ago is making a comeback, and one of its original founders is involved. Kevin Rose is reviving content aggregator Digg with help from Alexis Ohanian, the Co-Founder of longtime Digg rival Reddit.
Back in the 2000s and early 2010s, Digg was a popular content aggregator that collected the internet’s top stories and strangest curiosities on a centralized front page. Like Reddit, Digg operated on a democratic system. By “digging” items, users pushed them onto the platform’s homepage. A corresponding “bury” option deranked unpopular posts.
Though Digg reached 40 million monthly users at its peak, it eventually lost market share to Reddit and other social media platforms. Rose and his fellow co-founders departed by 2012, when Betaworks acquired Digg for just $500,000.
At that point, Digg seemed destined for internet obscurity, but more than a decade later, Rose has reacquired his old stomping ground...
