Revision3 is like G4, InDigital gone and we're evil

Hey all,

Just thought I'd comment on the recent happenings with Revision3. So, Indigital is no more and we're now taking a lot of blame and criticism. Be "we're" I mean "I'm" because in the eyes of the general, misinformed public I am the one making all the decisions over at Revision3, Digg and Pownce.

The truth of the matter can't really be discussed but the public is not getting the entire story. Please read what Revision3 CEO Jim Louderback has posted on the issue here.

With that said, I just want to ask people to chill. First of all, I am not responsible for anything. Revision3 has a CEO who is making decisions for the company. I am pretty much out of the loop there. I'm just the resident scapegoat for the public when anything goes awry. Of course "awry" for people now is really them not understanding the situation. 

People want what they want - sadly what they want isn't really realistic. I blame Digg. I guess for some reason, voting stories on a website gives people to right to call for beheading of someone who breathes too loudly.

We're not turning into G4. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. (As an aside Kevin Pereira and the people there rock, I mean G4 as in Comcast)

Future of Web Apps Conference

Coming up pretty soon I will be speaking at the Future of Web Apps Conference in jolly old England. I guess I will talk about this in more detail at some point in time coming but I just want to mention it because when I do go there, we want to do an episode of Diggnation and need you to come down because the venue we have will be taking up around 1000 seats, so if you're anywhere in Europe, find yourself down there.

You can also come see me at the FOWA conference talking on October 3rd, so check that out as well. I made a handy chart of what to look out for. Oh yeah and I'm trying to comment on anything I come across dealing with Digg, Revision3, Pownce, etc. So feel free to email me: fakekevinrose@gmail dot com.
