yep. digg was outsourced.
- ojbyrne 19y agoThough they didn't actually tell me that I was an "outsource" rather than a "founder" till later. In fact they never really told me that at all, just left me to read the press.
- ojbyrne 19y agoOh, and just to complete the thought, I would say that non-programmer founders are far from screwed.
- agentbleu 19y agoso Owen, any chance you'd build my app for 30/buck an hour now? hehe, did they overpaid you... When digg sells your going to be stinking rich, and I guess Kevin pays you a bit more now days. It just goes to show that by working for next to nothing but on a good idea / team, you can not only change the world but rule it too.
- ojbyrne 19y agoI left the company in October. Still hoping for "stinking rich." I'd certainly be open to building your app, but I'd probably want some specific things in writing this time around.
- deltapoint 19y agoJust wondering, what are you up to these days after digg? I would imagine you could utilize the notoriety you gained from digg to create an app development team. Something to the nature of electricpulp.com ...
- ojbyrne 19y agoMessing around mostly. The problem with outsourcing now is that I'm in Canada. I could charge exactly the same in C$ as I charged in 2002, and Americans will pay 50% more. Unless I can target a european audience, and then you get into the language issues. I've been helping a friend with his site, learning lisp thanks to the bad influences here ;-), and trying to create an interesting website. The last one is difficult. Thanks for asking!
- deltapoint 19y agoWhy is it difficult to create an interesting website? You created digg and that, I must say, is a very interesting website. Also how could I contact you about possibly having you work or partner on a possible project? It is an interesting website!
