I like Rose. In a lot of ways he represents the best of my generation of entrepreneurs more than Zuckerberg and anyone else in that era. The fact that he keeps working, and seems to always have something new, is inspiring and in a way, motivates me to do the same.
Pownce was ahead of its time. Had it been released in 2011, it would be a viable twitter alternative. I guess that's what he was getting at with how he wants his legacy to be seen.
- balac 14y agoHow can he possibly be the best when everyone one of his projects have failed? I also admire him, but lately he seems better at angel investing and spotting other peoples successes than building his own.
- emehrkay 14y agoIs being an entrepreneur more about winning or persevering?
- afterburner 14y agoSurely most people want to be a successful entrepreneur...
- emehrkay 14y agoAnd Kevin Rose hasn't been successful? How long does a company you started need to live on after you've left for it to be considered successful (Digg)? Was Digg not the go-to, poster-site, of web2.0 a time? Is that not a success?
- duaneb 14y agoGenerally, a company's purpose is to make money. Digg lost $40 million. How is that a success?

- duaneb 14y ago> Had it been released in 2011, it would be a viable twitter alternative. It was a viable twitter alternative when it was released. One of the reasons they closed shop (acquired) was that they couldn't compete with Twitter. How would they do better in 2011 when Twitter was so entrenched in internet culture?
