Anyone have insight into the timing of this? I understand they have been looking for someone for a while and this timing may simply be a result of an ongoing process coming to a close... but at the same time I'm sure there has been a lot going on internally at Digg since the launch of v4. Either way, the recent Digg events have been very public and very interesting. I think there is a decent amount to be learned from all this, or at least that is how I am rationalizing closely watching this all unfold.

- mmorris 16y agoAny time you're hoping for someone to pull a Steve Jobs comeback, you're already in deep trouble. There are very, very few Steve Jobs types in the world.
