Digg Founders Launch Online Video Company
I must have missed the day in school where they taught us how to get rich and popular by drinking beer on your couch. With laptops. Talking about Xbox and Google Earth.
But that's just what Digg founders Kevin Rose and Jay Adelson are doing with their second company, Revision3. The company just received $1 million in funding from several Silicon Valley notables, including Netscape founder Marc Andreesen and the VC company that invested in Facebook.
Revision3 is a video production company that produces both professional shows for TV and amateur videos. One of those amateur videos is Diggnation, which features Rose and Adelson on Rose's couch tossing back suds and chatting about the week's most interesting items on Digg.
Rose and Adelson will continue to run Digg.com, a popular site where users can rank news items, including videos, and interact with other users.
the show diggnation is actually hosted by rose and Alex Albrecht not Adelson as you mentioned

Really? Huh. I only listen on podcast from time to time. Actually, I can't stand to listen to them because they have too much fun. I'm usually in the subway with my iPod, thinking "Damn. Couches and beer."
