Leo Laporte , Sarah Lane and Kevin Rose are having something of a love-in on stage, reminiscing about their early days on TechTV , and Rose's move from a behind-the-scenes techie to presenter through finding a bug in Windows, and his subsequent evolution into an entrepreneur. Digg came out of that - he was there six years, but has now left (but remains on the board). The early years of scaling and growing were crazy. He thinks he made a lot of mistakes - hiring, feature development. It was...Read Full Story
Yesterday, Kevin Rose’s new mobile app, Oink, hit iTunes . You can download the app, but you still need an invite to unlock all of its features. About an hour after the launch, I showed up at Milk, Rose’s mobile lab startup, near San Francisco’s Mission District to get a demo. In the video above, Rose takes me through the app and explains what he is trying to accomplish.
Oink is a location-aware app that lets you rate things in specific places and uses hashtags to identify those things. So...Read Full Story
Over the past couple of months, we’ve seen a lot of action happening in and around the Twitter camp. With a few of the company’s higher-profile members taking the option to cash out and go elsewhere , there’s been a lot of questioning about what’s going on behind the scenes at Twitter.
One attention-grabbing moment was when early Twitter backer Kevin Rose decided to cash out some of his shares, again raising questions about the solidity of the company and what would cause such a move...Read Full Story
Digg founder Kevin Rose has a new venture, Milk Inc., and it has released its first app, c alled Oink . The app is described as a ‘way to rate and rank the things around you,’ and bills itself as a ratings engine not just for places, but the things inside.
When you fire up the app currently you’ll get the ability to connect a Twitter or Facebook account or use an email to sign up, but the app is still in a limited beta so you’ll need to wait in line to actually begin to ‘Oink’ things.

Welcome to the wikizine dedicated to keeping up with the latest news, discoveries or musings by and about the founder of Digg.com, Kevin Rose.
A former TechTV personality, university dropout and former high security clearance government worker, the 30 year-old (as of 2/07) Rose has most recently landed in the middle of "the number controversy" -- or what the New York Times called "open revolt on the web." Over the course of several months, the cracked anti-piracy code for HD DVD was crawling its way across the web as people posted it on various sites – followed by a trail of cease-and-desist letters trying to force posters to remove the code. The response of internet users was to post the code more openly, far and wide, eventually involving sites like Google, Wikipedia, and Digg – Rose's site. When Digg first received their own cease-and-desist warnings, Rose decided to comply. But so much fury ensued on his web site – including a glut of new material posted to Digg with the code in it -- that Rose turned his lot in with his users in the following statement:
"After seeing hundreds of stories and reading thousands of comments, you’ve made it clear. You’d rather see Digg go down fighting than bow down to a bigger company. We hear you, and effective immediately we won’t delete stories or comments containing the code and will deal with whatever the consequences might be. If we lose, then what the hell, at least we died trying."
Since this battle is part of a much larger war over "fair use" definitions, digital sharing rights, free speech and digital copyright, Rose is likely to find himself popping up on the hot seat for a while. Read about it, post about it, share opinions here. Any other intriguing bits about Mr. Rose are also welcome on this wikizine.
