Six Months After Leaving Digg, Jay Adelson Opens Up, Hints at Stealth Project

pehub.com — At a coffee shop in sunny Mill Valley, in Marin County, the former Digg CEO looked as relaxed as he ever has, dressed in shorts and sunglasses. The glass of lemonade in his hand served as a metaphor for his life since parting ways with Digg back in April. Oct 1, 2010 View in Crawl 4

Jay has always done well, and I'm sure he will continue you. Wonder what his new project will be thou...

On another note, I know Digg has had a bigtime backlash over the new Digg, but (and this is going to make me sound lazy, really lazy actually) the biggest problem I've had with the new Digg, is I can't stay logged in. I'll hit the Facebook connect, which is usually a one push login for me, but always comes back with an error on me, and thus I normally just don't Digg stories or comment, because I'd have to login to do so, so I just read the story and don't bother with digging. (Jesus, doesn't make me sound lazy, I guess I just am lazy) Other than that, really, it's just taken me some time to get used to the new Digg, but it's not so bad.

What a worthless interview. Everything good that got asked, and I might have been interested in knowing, just got a "I can't comment" or "I don't know the details". Wish I could have back the 5 minutes of my life I spent reading that.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

"Yesterday, at the techcrunch distupt conference"...
I believe "distupt" is a word the Germans invented to describe the new Digg.

In 2006 on Digg: Conversation With Digg's CEO Jay Adelson About v3.0 Overwhelming Success - http://www.marilyncarolyn.com/2006/07/explosive-conversation-with-diggcoms.html

FTA:
Q: What is the initial response to your new "Version 3" update?
Jay: We pretend to be calm about it. The truth is, we are astounded by the success. We keep high fiving each other, like NASA mission control after a successful shuttle launch.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
