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!
[...] Richard MacManus and I interviewed Digg founders Jay Adelson and Kevin Rose about the new launch, and we also spent some time talking about new Digg competitor Netscape, as well as other Digg related issues. Listen to the podcast on TalkCrunch. [...]
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.
[...] 4 days until 3.0(Listening to the TalkCrunch Podcast of the release details will be back soon!) [...]
[...] I listened to the TalkCrunch Podcast with Kevin and Jay of Digg. They are giving out a little hype of their 3.0 release. There is plenty of things to be excited about. Listening to the podcast and you can’t help but get excited for the new things coming to Digg. More for me, I am excited for them. Kevin seen him on Tech-TV. You could see his passion for tech come through the screen. His personal projects, Rev 3, and companion Digg Podcast Diggnation highlights his desire to contribute to the tech world. [...]
[...] Para saber más de este tema puedes escuchar el podcast de Techcrunch con los creadores de Digg. [...]
[...] I was listening to Michael Arrington’s TalkCrunch. Him and Richard McManus were interviewing Jay Adelson and Kevin Rose from Digg.com. Kevin told the story about how Digg.com got its initial rise to popularity over having a story related to Paris Hilton’s cell phone being hacked. Doesn’t that say a lot about the audience the site serves and the type of content that is getting pushed out on Digg? [...]
[...] Digg.com, which now has 300,000 registered users and 8 million monthly visitors, is planning to launch a new version of their website (Internally known as, Digg v.3) on Monday, June 26. Richard MacManus of Read/WriteWeb and Michael Arrington of TechCrunch landed an interview with Digg founders, Jay Adelson and Kevin Rose, about the history of Digg, the amount of traffic Digg receives, and the release of the new Netscape.com, which launched last week. [...]
[...] I’ve uploaded a clip (TalkCrunch_Quote.mp3), but I encourage you to go listen to the full episode. [...]
[...] With regard to the new features, I get the impression that Digg is trying to get good stories up to the home page as fast as possible, something I didn’t really pick up on in our podcast with the Digg founders. At least three features seem to push this. [...]
[...] いくつかの新機能について考えてみると、私の印象では、Diggは良い記事をホームページになるべく早く持ってくるように仕向けようとしているように思える。Diggのファウンダー達とのポッドキャストの中では私も気づいていなかったのだが、少なくとも3つの機能がこのことを促しているようだ。 [...]
[...] Concernant les nouvelles fonctionnalités, nous avons l’impression que Digg essaye de placer les meilleurs histoires en haut de page aussi vite que possible ce qui nous avait échappé lors du podcast avec les fondateurs de Digg. 3 fonctionnalités ont l’air d’aller dans ce sens [...]

[...] I spent 15 minutes on it this morning as soon as I got up. In that fifteen minutes I was able to see all of the new features. I am mentioning this, and is a credit to, the new user experience Digg has created. As explained during their podcast with TalkCrunch the ease to travel through subjects and current and upcoming topics is made so easy you don’t click around. On the left I pick a subject. The current topics pop up on the right. Above this column you can click to the upcoming topics of that same subject. The time it takes for those topics to pop up is fluid and you don’t wait through a page regen. I also noticed a small friends navigation tab on the left. Within the last 48 hours my friends have dugg 4 topics. I checked them out, sure enough those are the ones I should have been reading in the first place. So that is what I did with the remaining ten minutes. [...]

[...] So there’s a general flow in my mind on how Media Works now. A lot of this came to mind after listening to Talk Crunch Episode 10. More importantly, Media and its consumption is starting to flow differently. I see theWeblogWire, as part of this chain, but let me first go into how it is in the current stage: [...]
[...] 今日（米国時間7/6日）Hitwise社は新しいデータを発表した。データというのは、オンラインのアクセス件数で「Diggが近くニューヨークタイムズを上回るだろう」という以前の予測が、実質的には裏付けられた情報ではないということを示したものである。Lee Anne Prescot氏はHitwiseのブログで 「Hitwise の米国サンプル、1000万人のインターネットユーザーによれば、2006年7月1までの１週間でDigg はニュース＆メディアのジャンルで101位を記録した。同じ期間におけるNY TimesのページインプレッションはDiggの19倍に上った」と述べている。TechCrunchのDigg バージョン3.0 リリースの記事をみてもらいたい。ここでは、(Alexaのデータに基づいて)Diggは近くページビューでニューヨークタイムズに迫るかもしれないということと、TalkcrunchによるDiggファウンダーとのインタビューに関し議論されている。[原文へ] Digg [...]

[...] DiggのVersion 3は、先月終わりに公開された。これにはユーザーインターフェースの変更と多くの新規カテゴリーの追加が含まれ、Diggのカバー範囲はTechnology関連ニュースに限定しないものとなった。この発表と、急激な拡大を示すユーザー利用状況統計データにより、Diggはメインストリームの一般インターネットユーザーにも初めて意識されるものとなった。 Diggのversion 3についての詳しい情報については、Diggのファウンダー達Kevin RoseとJay Adelsonと話した、TalkCrunchのポッドキャストも聞いて欲しい。 [...]
[...] La version 3 de Digg a été lancée le mois dernier avec des changements au niveau de l’interface utilisateur et de nouvelles catégories ne concernant plus seulement la technologie.

So, when will the next “weekly episode” be posted. They were great while they lasted!
[...] Have to say that I fully support Jeff Jarvis’ discussion on the matter, I understand that people like Mr. Lemann enjoy being part of the legend and myth that surrounds a magazine such as the New Yorker and that it is a heavy burden to carry when writing a piece for them. However, the debate about journalists vs. bloggers leads me into the discussion in the Talkcrunch episode with Digg, where Michael Arrington discusses the interesting matters of newspapers, blogs, and sites such as Digg. And how the blogosphere provides journalists (primarily, the good ones) new possibilities to write and to earn more money than they’ve done as journalists, I guess Arrington himself might be an example of this. With publishing platforms such as Digg and Reddit, journalists and writers with an already existing audience as a platform have really no excuses not to start a blog. The power of self publishing, both in financial and content terms, is something that is incredibly attractive for everyone who writes for a living. [...]
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
