The Real Story On Digg.com

written by John Chow on January 27th, 2007

Have you ever wondered how Digg came about? You can read the About Us on the Digg.com home page but that’s the corporate propaganda line and not the real story. In this special report, Heywood Jablome of Big Big News reveals the true history and inner workings of Digg.com. This is the video report Digg doesn’t want you to see!

If you haven’t seen it already, be sure to check out Big Big News special report on John Chow dot Com! :)

John, the link you made to bigbignews should point to bigbignews.net not http://www.bigbignews.net

the http://www. isn’t working at the moment.

I decided to open the post instead of watch the video on your main page, and since then Revver has been totally jacked up. He should put it on YouTube, damn. :P

HAHAHA…. I was eating an Oatmeal cookie when I started playing this, and now I’m cleaning it out of my keyboard, lol. I’m definitely going to check that “news” site out. Thanks for posting!

Bangher and Leever. Sounds like a colourful neighbourhood. This guy is really funny and I love the over the top puns. Comedy that just walks up to you and slaps you in the face with the obvious is my favourite.

You should have let us know this thing was “NSFW” in the post. My daughter was watching over my shoulder when the “love scene” popped up.
