Anyone remembers Digg?
Well, apparently they are making some kind of Google Reader replacement and have been sending out the beta invite.
Ironically, Digg is having trouble with their own web server. Digg has been Dugg.
Digg, I’ve heard of it.
So Digg is finally acquired but for a lot less. In 2008 Digg was valued at $175 millions, and in 2012 it is acquired for roughly $16 millions.
Digg is broken by Reddit users?
Kevin Rose was so proud talking about Digg v4 to Leo Laporte, not knowingly how the users are plotting a revolt. According to ReadWriteWeb, Reddit users are taking over Digg frontpage. From time to time I’d be seeing the following.
Welcome to the Internet, Digg v4.
Carlos Alazraqui: Taco Bell Dog Voice
A short test clip from Carlos Alazraqui’s performance at The Hollywood Improv. Recorded November 19th, 2008.
Carlos is wearing a Green Digg T-Shirt. On Saturday night show, Carlos was also wearing the same T-Shirt because we’re taping all the shows and going to put them together. Lala from Tiki Bar TV came up to Carlos and talk about Digg and its founder Kevin Rose who Lala is a close friend with.
Lala and Carlos Alazraqui
Carlos Alazraqui rocks Hollywood Improv, and the night ends with a geeky surprise. Guess who was in the audience? None other than Lala from Tiki Bar TV. Lala commented on the Green Digg T-Shirt that Carlos was wearing. Lala told Carlos about Digg and its founder Kevin Rose.
Rocko Diggs Digg
Carlos Alazraqui, the man behind the voice of Rocko (Rocko’s Modern Life) and the face behind the moustache of Reno 911!’s Deputy James Oswaldo Garcia, diggs Digg. During recent appearance at Cobbs Comedy Club in San Francisco (December 12 & 13, 2008), Carlos was wearing green Digg t-shirt.
In November 2008, an article titled “The Faces Behind TV’s Cartoon Voices” made Digg front page. Comments like this one and this one show how popular Rocko was. Add Reno 911!’s James Garcia, Family Guy’s Mr Weed, and the Taco Bell Chihuahua to Carlos Alazraqui’s resume, he is a legend.
Rocko is giving the love back to Digg!
Special thanks to Laura for taking the pictures and Carlos for the permission.
