- optimusprime01, on 03/13/2008, -23/+8The party was awesome. Mark Cuban is awesome, it was nice meeting him.His entry was just perfect.
- EvilAnimator, on 03/13/2008, -6/+22Namedropper. And Cuban is not awesome.
- hobit1980, on 03/13/2008, -12/+3You are a retard. If you didn't go don't stop others from sharing their joy.
- debuggercll, on 03/13/2008, -2/+5What? That's the perfect reason to stop others.

- kidcodea, on 03/13/2008, -3/+6"Mark Cuban is awesome"
mark, get da ***** off digg, u dumb one trick pony.
- EvilAnimator, on 03/13/2008, -6/+22Namedropper. And Cuban is not awesome.
- hobit1980, on 03/13/2008, -10/+4I wish i was there, oh well may be next time.
- ryanmerket, on 03/13/2008, -12/+5This is the 3rd year in a row I am kicking myself for not going to SXSW.
- KibibyteBrain, on 03/13/2008, -0/+1What are you talking about. SXSW is everything that is wrong with Silicon Valley, new media, etc right now rolled up into one event. Its sort of proof that the bubble is yet again ready to burst. SXSW is pretty much why huge conservative corporations dominate everything, because they can actually meet and have convocations that are productive and advance their fields without going on a raging drunk rampage the whole time.
- innovati, on 03/13/2008, -13/+5haha you guys need to have something in toronto soon!
- affanjam, on 03/13/2008, -6/+1Toronto meet-up that would be awesome....or Digg Townhall meeting in Toronto!!
- optimusprime01, on 03/13/2008, -16/+6Kevin Rose, Daniel Burka and Joe Stump kick ass and rocked the party. It was great to meet them in person, they treated every one great and were courteous. It was awesome talking to Joe and Daniel.. Guys try going to FOWA or SXSW next time. Who know whom might see there.
- EvilAnimator, on 03/13/2008, -3/+13More sickening namedropping.
- strictnein, on 03/13/2008, -3/+6What's even worse is that he submitted this story just so he could name drop. Buried.
- PURPLEDRINK, on 03/13/2008, -1/+5fag
- Orb9, on 03/13/2008, -1/+4So cool. You are so, cool.

- DigiDave, on 03/13/2008, -1/+80I find it so interesting that there is a gossip website about and for nerds.
Imagine what this looks like to other people? They probably view it the same way we view E-weekly.
I'm not trying to hate - just saying: Let's get a little perspective. It's a little weird when you are digging a ValleyWag article about the co-founder of Digg's party at SXSW aka Spring Break for the internet. Navel gazeing much?- larfus, on 03/13/2008, -2/+1Navel gazing much? thanks for the chuckle.
- flashback99, on 03/13/2008, -3/+1Admit it, you were stoned when you came up with this.
- ictharus, on 03/13/2008, -2/+1yay - omphaloskepsis is always a good thing. I keep finding lint.
- Ascendancy5, on 03/13/2008, -8/+3Seriously you guys, I was there. You guys...seriously.
- HenvY, on 03/13/2008, -11/+4Kevin Rose got laid.
http://www.girlwithaonetrackmind.blogspot.com/- SaladCactusKing, on 03/13/2008, -5/+1oh lawdy.
- SaladCactusKing, on 03/13/2008, -2/+4He's not blog spamming, it's a link to a girl who most probably did sleep with Kevin Rose. lawdy lawdy lawdy.
- rugabug, on 03/13/2008, -3/+1Um no. She mentions Kevin in the previous post, the 9th, "When you hear that Kevin Rose is having to jump the fence to gain entry..."
So on the post for the 11th when she says "waking a few hours later to Google his name and discover that he's not just any sexygeekboy but one that also happens to be famous on the internet?", she is saying she didn't know who the guy was before hand. - rmassie, on 03/13/2008, -2/+1Read the whole blog, it's not Kevin. Stop trying to stir stuff.
- ralphthemagi, on 03/13/2008, -1/+2http://www.zoemargolis.co.uk/images/zoem.jpg
She is not attractive. Kevin is rich. He can do better. NO DIGG.- 9Digits, on 03/13/2008, -1/+2True enough. Still, I'd ***** her with Kevin's dick.
Then I'd punch him for making me such a manwhore.
- 9Digits, on 03/13/2008, -1/+2True enough. Still, I'd ***** her with Kevin's dick.

- SaladCactusKing, on 03/13/2008, -5/+1oh lawdy.
- blzbulb, on 03/13/2008, -6/+1If you ever come to Houston, I'll be there.
- woojoo, on 03/13/2008, -7/+909-F9-11-02-9D
- Typhoon2009, on 03/13/2008, -0/+33Sounds like the dot-com bubble parties of the late 90s...
- strictnein, on 03/13/2008, -1/+16But now with more smugness.
- ralphthemagi, on 03/13/2008, -1/+5Don't you know? That's what Web 2.0 is built on. Rails, Django, lighttpd, Mongrel clusters and smug. Without the last part, the server doesn't boot up.
- sfrench, on 03/13/2008, -5/+1The best part is that we have none of those here at Digg. Lots of awesome folks, apache, php, mysql.
- ralphthemagi, on 03/13/2008, -1/+0Haha. Touché my friend, touché.

- SaladCactusKing, on 03/13/2008, -1/+51rich people partying. whoop dee doo.
- senatorpjt, on 03/13/2008, -0/+2It's no Bohemian Grove. That's at least a little interesting.
- silentcollision, on 03/13/2008, -4/+3Buried because of Mark Cuban and 'The Benefactor'.
- derekknight, on 03/13/2008, -11/+41For the love of god, no more DIGG stories about DIGG!
Jay, Kevin, please sell DIGG, take your money, and go away.- derrickgossman, on 03/13/2008, -3/+10Amen. Sell Digg to Microsoft already so that the retarded Digg community orgy will come to a screeching halt.
- Ratteler, on 03/13/2008, -5/+14Ok. I know I'm lame. I know I'm getting dug down.... but WTF is a SXSW?
- Ocelot13, on 03/13/2008, -2/+3idk... i think south by southwest, but i could be wrong.
- strictnein, on 03/13/2008, -1/+25http://www.sxsw.com/
It's the most annoying time of year to read blogs. Blog after blog writing about how they saw other blog writers at such and such a party and how awesome it all was, as if anyone cares.
It's so super hip and trendy with corporate sponsors like Coke, Toyota, Dell, and Miller Lite, because they're all so trendy and hip too. - KZeni, on 03/13/2008, -2/+3south by southwest covers music, film, and interactive media. Check out http://sxsw.com/ if you're still interested in learning more about it.
- Atomic1fire, on 03/13/2008, -1/+5Something I could care less about
Tell me when something more interesting happens- Scheissen, on 03/13/2008, -1/+3couldn't care less
- chaseh, on 03/13/2008, -8/+1SXSW just keeps getting bigger and bigger every year. All you geeks out there need to check out Austin, it is a year round party here.
- dizilbdog, on 03/13/2008, -3/+4Justine Sane
- vclortho, on 03/13/2008, -2/+23Internet celebrity circle-jerk time!!!
- optimusprime01, on 03/13/2008, -10/+5For all who are saying, i am name dropping, if you think so. Yes i am, coz i was there and you were'nt. I took time off from work to learn from the conference and meet these people.
Those who are burying, I know you guys. You are little kids in your parent's basement and get angry very quickly or alone nerds with no life what so ever and hate people for anything, so go ahead and be my guest. Dont be haters. If someone was nice to me, i will say it and will share it and if they weren't i will share that too, coz i am an oridinary guy like you guys no big shot.... so it should make you happy that an ordinary guy like most diggers was treated well.
Those are hating, can't help you guys except wish you guys think that if you were in my shoes how would you have felts.
Peace....- vclortho, on 03/13/2008, -1/+5You are so goddamn awesome.
- ralphthemagi, on 03/13/2008, -0/+7You're the same as everyone else here buddy. Get over yourself. You just spent $1,000 (assuming you actually went to SXSW) to take the day off of work to talk to Kevin Rose. You want a cookie?
- canewediggit, on 03/13/2008, -2/+12wow, you sound just like every douche bag that comes to south beach. "i saw paris at prive on saturday, she was so cool and down to earth. and then puffy came in and he danced so good, and khaled got on the tables and yelled out 'we the best!' and i was like 'yeah we are'. oh, you're just jealous cause you weren't there but i was on the vip list b/c my sister's best friend's boyfriend's roomate saw ferris at 31 flavors last night and he hooked it up."
only w/ internet celebs instead of real ones. it's not hating, it's you being a douche with starry eyes because you've never been in the presence of people w/ money and/or power before.- ralphthemagi, on 03/13/2008, -0/+2Or in this case, e-fans. I mean, outside of Mark Cuban, that's what all these other e-celebs have. They don't really have power and they aren't making 7-8 figures. Don't get me wrong, they make alot, but it's scraps compared to what the bankrollers get. It's the investors that get to walk away with the bags covered in dollar signs.
- vclortho, on 03/13/2008, -0/+3Well put.
- MrMongoose, on 03/13/2008, -0/+3I was there too, it was a free party you jerkoff. Congratulations, you managed to RSVP just like everyone else who was there. Wow, you saw some notable people, no one gives a *****.
- doctordbx, on 03/13/2008, -0/+3I'd ***** care but I went Snowboarding and had a much more awesome time than you.
Can anyone else see the irony in a 'party' for social networking websites?
- futureisours, on 03/13/2008, -1/+2Wha? Is this some party where only rich internet celebrities and CEOs are invited? Why are things resembling more and more like the elitism of hollywood and the fashion industry? I thought the internet was supposed to bring people together, including divergent ideas and social dynamics. Silly me.
- sfrench, on 03/13/2008, -0/+1Would you believe it... it was open (800+ RSVP's on upcoming.org)
http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/438113/?ps=6
Aubs did an awesome job planning it and I heard it went really great. I'm definitely going to get myself down to Austin next year. - MrMongoose, on 03/13/2008, -0/+1Actually, it was free (if you signed up early enough). I didn't see any of the aforementioned "celebrities", but did have quite a good time listening to music and drinking for free all night long. Great party!
- toast24, on 03/14/2008, -0/+1It was totally free...I was there.

- robotfuel, on 03/13/2008, -4/+3I live in Austin. Pretty cool to live in a town where it goes crazy with live music for a week. Traffic sucks balls though.
So do the prices -- but that's why (insert god of choice here and or your own ingenuity) invented sneaking in. - derrickgossman, on 03/13/2008, -1/+9Internet celebrity != real celebrity.
- markgl, on 03/13/2008, -1/+7Mark Cuban! What a dick!
- derrickgossman, on 03/13/2008, -1/+17Seriously -- who gives a ***** about any of these people? So they run websites, etc. Whoopee.

- kmjmu, on 03/13/2008, -0/+4i went to the media temple party and walked over to pure volume for the digg party, but the bouncer was telling everyone outside that the party was for "vip's only" and we were "wasting our time"...which wasn't true since i had a badge to get into pure volume and had been there just about every night...i actually thought it was one of the better hangout spots. anyone else have this experience for the digg party? media temple's party was awesome, and so was SXSW overall. definitely going back next year.
- MrMongoose, on 03/13/2008, -1/+0As I was leaving the party around 2, I heard the bouncer telling everyone at the door that they weren't getting in without a white wristband, which I guess meant VIP. Probably because it was already pretty much wall-to-wall at that point. But I had no trouble getting in around 10pm with the blue badge.
- airburst, on 03/13/2008, -0/+1LOL @ your blue badge. You ***** nobody.
- MrMongoose, on 03/13/2008, -0/+0I know, apparently it's all about the white wristband :(
- airburst, on 03/13/2008, -0/+1LOL @ your blue badge. You ***** nobody.
- strictnein, on 03/13/2008, -0/+2Now if Media Temple's hosting could be awesome. They go down more than an aspiring singer in NY City.

- frostw, on 03/13/2008, -2/+3What a bunch of old wank
- Ikulus, on 03/13/2008, -1/+10There was a time when geeks were the underdogs. Generally rejected, unappreciated, and often ignored. Then the internet took the forefront and geeks were given the spotlight. Suddenly it was okay to be a geek. Geek culture took off and was accepted as a valid form of social interaction. That was the honeymoon period...
Now it's become an inbred back-patting festival of pseudo-celebrities and product endorsements. It's starting to remind me of everything I hated and hate about mainstream media. Tabloids and gossip. Shallow discussions and massive egos. Elitism.
Looks like it's time for a new underground. - drumdance, on 03/13/2008, -3/+1I don't care about this celebrity bs, I'm just trying to find out the name of one of the bands. they were from Denver but I didn't catch their name. Anyone know?
Obtopic Digg bashing - one of the funniest moments at the scalability panel is when someone ask Kevin Rose how they were going to manage the transition to .NET. - senatorpjt, on 03/13/2008, -2/+1So what, I met a bunch of real celebrities at a war protest in DC before Iraq started, and it didn't cost me a dime (well, $20 for bus fare from NY). Anyone can meet rich people, it's being one that's impressive.
- dildoolielly, on 03/13/2008, -3/+2Since Kevin Rose and "the other guy" obviously have their own private little network called "Digg" which they tout as an "open democratic forum", which really turns out to be a personal ad for them and their personal friends, here is a little service that helps out those who don't suck bigg Digg Donkey Dick;
