I don't get how "promoting themselves" has done significant damage to the company. I mean, Kevin is the company. The company is Kevin. When Digg had a town hall meeting in Chicago, people were there to meet Kevin and have him sign their iPhones. He's gotta be out there as much as possible.
I concede having no knowledge on any of these other fronts, but I don't understand how all the good PR that comes from Rose's ubiquity in tech media can be anything but crucial to Digg's success.
- ojbyrne 18y agoI think you've answered the question. Kevin is the company. It was not always so - in fact in the early days he downplayed his role in the company, and it had massive momentum. Instead of concentrating on making a better product, a lot of energy went into the "web 2.0 poster boy" campaign as a marketing strategy. I don't think it worked.
