- alaskamiller 19y agoi see you have not heard of the fabled digg origin story: kevin rose is a college drop out, he was a CS major. he does tech stuff and then landed on a tv channel that focuses on web and tech stuff. he contacted slashdot asking them to update their site based on this idea of letting users vote up or down a story. slashdot told him to go away. kevin rose hired a programmer online for $600 to get his idea started anyways. after the site's made he pimps it on tv and all his nerd friends. 16 year old "hax0r" kids went to the site in droves. most adblock the ads. here we are today.
