What is Digg?77 Comments
- seanthebond, on 10/12/2007, -5/+88Aren't these photos old? I thought the new offices were already completed, and Diggnation filmed at them a couple of episodes back.
- bunni, on 10/12/2007, -1/+30Half-pipe stays.
- stevesearer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28Here are the completed offices:

- HoosbinPharteen, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24@XxUNDEROATHxX: They drink beer of course......and pass funny digger comments back and forth :D
- degree, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22If you're going to ask, you might as well ask using a term people understand.
- dynacrylic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22Where is the half-pipe?
- RockMyMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -5/+21I think it's smart that they are not blowing insane amounts of money. Very long term thinking.
- Gerolsteiner, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17That's an inspiring statement, but there's no cover sheet. Didn't you get the memo?
- XxUNDEROATHxX, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18What exactly does a person do in the digg office?
and yes, these are old... May 3rd-May 5th is what the image says... - ArizonaKid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Cubicles?
Human beings weren't meant to sit in little cubicles, starring at
computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to
eight different bosses drone on about mission statements. - accidental, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14One thing digg needs to add is some way that people cant just go back and re-post 6 month old news.
- cybersnafu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Disappointing. There seems to be a significant lack of milk crate furniture pieces and load-bearing posters...
- adamkhel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Why is everyone acting like these offices/cubes are so great? They're just like any other normal office space and not even as good as most Silicon Valley tech firms (Sun, Apple, etc.). I've worked at government contracts where the offices were just like that...yuck.
-A - Gunite, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13It's depressing to see an article like this make it to the front page, because it's sooo ***** lame. And then to see the number of diggs and comments and realize there are so many bored useless people on the planet. And then to waste ones time writing a comment and come to a sudden realization that you are one of them.
sigh - masterc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Almost as fun as watching grass grow...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Yeah, but these cubicles are entirely made out of tofu and they take on the flavor of whatever department they're placed in.
- danielman94, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I thought he meant soma, from Brave New World...
- lazyguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5You cant afford a couch, but you can afford an office?
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5It looks like an office.
- Rochmndx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Here are more photos of the Digg office: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kevinrose/
- brbubba, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I agree. I thought the trend was a move away from the cubicle farm for the modern office space. This only looks like an updated version of the cubicle, pretty ugly.
- freff, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7@an7agonist
Completely classless comment. Yet I still LOL'ed. - Sun.Surfin, on 10/12/2007, -6/+10Seeing as these pics were uploaded to Flickr in April of this year, I'm going to say "yes".
EDIT: Sorry, had this page up in tabs, commented, and didn't realise it'd already been mentioned. Digg down. - OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Ok, so when are the Digg office webcams going to be installed?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Leo Laporte must be spinning in his grave... oh, wait... he's not dead yet. :D
- metafore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4it's ***** embarassing that 800+ people found this interesting. don't you all have jobs with offices exactly like this?
- Po0py, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4This is so very interesting.
- AriaStar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3http://revision3.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=2
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7@seanthebond
Yep. From the Flickr page: Photos are from between 25 Apr 06 & 03 May 06.
Only 8 months late, digrob.
@XxUNDEROATHxX
Do you think this website maintains itself?
There are 3/4 MILLION users, with 4,000 stories being submitted per day. - seanthebond, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yeah, this is sad... over 900 diggs, for an old story. I know that Digg is all about democracy and all, and I'm all for it, but this is proof that everyonce in a while, a little communism isn't a bad thing.
- lagerbottom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This was my thought as well. Congratulations...looks like every other ***** office
- boardo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2These pics have been posted several times on digg, I have a feeling that is what their point was.
- TheNik, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This may be old (as the photos say April 20, 2006 in the Flickr copyright), but their office is pretty damn nice. :)
- Citronjaune, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2They are digging down your comment because they just don't care
- lucask, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Prescription muscle relaxants? No silly they need at least Valium to deal with the Digg trolls.
- SystemError, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2burry this old crap + how did 900 tards think this was new and digg worthy.
unless with the new updates there is an "out of date news" category - kibmcz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Is that the old netscape offices? They look like the pics from when the one netscape office was closed down.
- jefferson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2These are sooo friggin old and they were posted before.
It seems to make the front page of digg all you have to do is go back about a year and repost a story this is happening so often now digg is getting pretty lame. - unimatrixZxero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Man complain about cubicles all you want. I would love to have a cubicle workspace. I sit in a studio office with 5 other programmers and it's just a bitch to try an concentrate when you hear 5 other people goofing off, talking on the phone, tapping their fingers, or most annoying hist stupid ass old model 250-ish IBM keyboard. Damn that thing is loud.
- digital1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And everyone thought re-runs on TV sucked. Maybe someone should post that Digg has a new look. It has been few days since that story and this is the only Digg related story on the front page.
- vonskippy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Boring the first time around - now it's just so ***** pathetic. How does ANCIENT ***** like this make the front page?
- treelovinhippie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1heh, I thought maybe you guys were moving into new offices again with the influx of new employees
- systemlayers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1pretty good quality steelcase stuff.
those are think chairs. - Gullop, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2How very depressing.
- ldavid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ah stop your complaining. don't like it? digg it down.
- sicc, on 10/12/2007, -7/+8I bet Kevin is real proud of himself. He's watching his small company just a couple years old turn into something really big and successful. I envy his success. Kudos to him...
- zmenchini, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1its a gaming ship.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Astounding. The can afford office space. I thought all the money went toward beers.
- 200iso, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Fark has also been almost exactly the same for years.
