Rebooting @digg.
Loved Superman. Everything I wanted (and even some of what I didn’t know that I wanted). Special in a way that only James Gunn can do. What a promising start to building something exceptional.
Today we launched the @digg Closed Beta on the web which means that all 25,000 of our intrepid Groundbreakers can now lovingly and aggressively kick the tires of the Digg™ Desktop Personal Computer Web Experience™.
new feature packed @digg beta -- dark mode, clarity icon set, bug fixes +++, and the web beta going live today. Next up, an invite system to open things up while guarding against ai bots (thanks for waiting!). once we get the foundational framework live then the wild ideas come…
We were grateful to join @ForerunnerVC and our fellow co-hosts in bringing together a standout group of early-stage consumer AI builders at #HumansInTheLoop. It was a powerful reminder that collective success grows from an inclusive community—where founders, investors, and…
So great to see @JustinMezzell take the stage and preach the new @digg -- the early alpha is now well into the several million pages served, opening it up slowly (to humans) over the coming weeks :)
Thrilled to be speaking all things @digg at Humans in the Loop today! Going to be one heck of a day with a line up like this. Grateful to be a part!
Next week, True Ventures is cohosting Humans in the Loop – an event spotlighting the next wave of innovation in early-stage consumer AI. @JustinMezzell of @digg – the iconic early internet social news platform now being reimagined – will present and share more about why they are…
The first public demo of the new Digg iOS app is here. CEO @JustinMezzell walks us through the pre-launch build. Private alpha, meet public eyeballs.
So much fun having director Dan Trachtenberg in the Digg offices for an AMA to nerd out over film, games, science fiction, and more!
In this Digg AMA clip, Predator: Killer of Killers director Dan Trachtenberg explains how animation lets you do whatever you want. Spoiler: freedom isn’t always easy. Old co-hosts of The Totally Rad Show, Dan and Alex have been nerding out on screen together for over a decade.
Psst. If you’re in Groundbreakers and want to test the @digg iOS TestFlight, go check out the most recent post over in the Circle community. We’d love to have you to kick the tires on the app. See you there!
I have no idea what’s going on in this Doom: The Dark Ages story and honestly I don’t care. Let’s rip and tear.
All it takes is flying literally any flight without it to remind yourself that Starlink truly is a fantastic product. Would love to see broader adoption of the technology far and wide (with some actual competition).
Turns out a bunch of $5 verifications adds up. $115,000 later, Groundbreakers get to play the charitable Illuminati. Cast your vote Groundbreakers.
so uh just wondering aloud are we ever getting a third?
Managed to snag the 'designer' handle on the new @digg earlier today LFG @kevinrose @JustinMezzell @forestanderson @alexisohanian
Today at @digg we're launching Groundbreakers; a pre-launch community that will help shape the future of the platform. Connect with others, see early designs, and provide feedback. Also, you get to snag your username early. Check the link in my bio for more.
Disappointed to see the shift at Dribbble, but it also feels like the direction it’s been moving towards for some time. I remain grateful for what it was because truthfully, I made my early career because of Dribbble. It’s what allowed me to get distribution, land clients, and…
Can’t make it to Austin for Diggnation? No worries—we’ve got you covered! Watch live on YouTube and Digg. Just use the link in our bio. 📅 Tonight at 8 PM CT | 6 PM PT | 9 PM ET
The new @digg brings some great nostalgia, but we're not here to just rebuild the past or clone a competitor. Since @alexisohanian and I left the game, we've dreamed up features that weren't even possible with yesterday's tech. We're bringing more transparency and community…
