Digg to cut 10% of workforce, hire direct sales team

• brk 18y ago
  (honest question) Why does a user-content driven social networking site need a sales team? What are they going to sell, and to who will they sell it? I hope they're not staking their profitability on ads.

    > I hope they're not staking their profitability on ads. What else do you expect them to stake their profitability upon? Sales of amusing digg-themed t-shirts?

      Well, I was hoping they had some interesting new idea. I don't personally much care, I haven't been on Digg in about 2 years, the value diminished pretty significantly for me.
