Digg 3.0 is set to launch on Monday, June 26, 2006. Screen shots and a feature overview are available on TechCrunch and Read/Write Web. Here on TalkCrunch, Richard MacManus and Michael Arrington interview Digg founders Kevin Rose and Jay Adelson on a wide range of topics, including the history of Digg, features included in Digg 3.0, and their thoughts on the new Digg-clone that AOL launched at netscape.com. We also review current Digg stats (now bigger than the New York Times) and growth rates (site traffic is doubling every two months). This is a long podcast, but worth it.

Awesome interview!
I like Digg for more than just it’s content. I believe Kevin is a rising star of the tech world. Mike I believe that of you too. You both seem openly honest and unable to hide your passion for what you are doing. Mike you backed that up with your props you gave Kevin, Jay, & Digg for helping make TechCrunch what it is today. I thought that was very cool, and it didn’t come across as an ass-kiss thing to say.
Basically it was a good podcast and you should definitely listen to it.
Wow, excellent interview and insight into Digg’s plans. Mainstream media should be a bit nervous. It’s great to have watched Digg’s progress from the start.
Can’t wait until 3.0 comes out. Love the fact that tech will still be the first thing seen. Also, anyone know what effect this lauch will have on the diggnation podcast?
Just wanted to tell ‘Thank you’ for bringing so much information to us.
Thanks for the mention, Mike. There’s only one Indian submitting your stories that’d be me). And only 1 Israeli I know of. I’m glad to. You really have an interesting and cool blog.
Digg is a really cool site, which is filled with interesting news and links each day. It’s like an Internet Yellow Pages and News Scrapbook that is live, updating and growing every few minutes. Quite enjoyable, really.
Very good insight into the history of the site, great interview.
So, when will the next “weekly episode” be posted. They were great while they lasted!
I was about to ask just the same… how about a new talkcrunch?
Great Interview – The Biggest Story with Digg is Advertising/Spam and the few users that claim to be in control? Hopefully they can solve this – they have agreat site
