Well I woke up to another Digg sell out rumor so it must be the first Friday of the month. What is interesting this time is the players couldn’t get much bigger; Google and Microsoft thanks to techcrunch breaking the news. While this has to be the geekiest picture ever on the cover of a magazine it is damn good marketing. Kevin Rose took a suggestion he made to the Slashdot founder over lunch and turned it into the largest social news site that so far can’t be outdone. The digg stack is completely Lamp, High Scalability has the details, and done on a shoestring budget of course with the exception of the support of digg CEO and co-founder Adelson’s Equinox as the founder and CTO. Good idea, reasonable execution, and a solid Ops team, which started with one guy.
