Lead: foreign media a few days ago, said the author, the Digg founder Kevin Rose (Kevin Rose), held in London in the use of "Web applications in the future," the opportunity to elaborate on the meeting of the company's international expansion strategy, is an ideal choice . For the simple reason that London has become a San Francisco-based Digg's largest active users Center. For any company, the financial disaster in the news media headlines rule still made in the field of development and continue to employ more staff compared to the natural decision is more complicated. 9 in the morning, Ross in a statement after the international expansion strategy were interviewed.
To work as a kind of enjoyment
Q: You are a hero in the eyes of the people, and lots of followers. To become a so-called "Digg" and how much passion you have, especially in Digg and has decided to continue to expand in overseas markets to take root under the circumstances?
A: I love my job, but it does not feel that they are at work. Over the past 4 years for me is a memorable experience, I even think that is not working, I enjoy every day are spent. In the coming for quite a long time, I think they will remain with great enthusiasm. I will continue to remain in Digg.
Q: While presiding over the broadcast bubble (with the voice of the podcast) Diggnation, you become an idol. Can you talk about your feelings?
A: Many people watch and enjoy our podcasts (video sharing), they feel that this group of guys we really had fun too. In support of the podcast, we always drinking beer, we love Comments of the technology as well as "technology-off" culture-related stories. Presided over such a very easy way, get a lot of people love. I do not know this is the case, I am glad to see people watching our program and we appreciate the way.
At this stage just podcasts, Alex (Alex Santos Erbuleite full name, Diggnation co-host) and I have not thought about that in the end how many people will like the program. We just want to, "since in cooperation with TechTV, why do not we do interesting things to create a record?" Even in the absence of a person to join in, we will continue to do so, because we like it.
Q: You said that this morning, Digg will further enhance its attractiveness, but so far, only one-tenth of the visitors to register as users of Digg. Faced with this situation, Diggnation whether or not there will be some change?
A: No, Diggnation will remain the same. It is just people looking for a music program. Diggnation to watch in person, only a small number of people visit Digg. Diggnation every week to watch the number only about 250,000, compared, Digg has attracted millions of people's attention. Therefore, Diggnation and Digg are not particularly close.
Will not follow the example of other sites
Q: You said earlier in the Digg will stay for some time. We all know that you have just completed the third round of large-scale financing plan, does this mean that Digg will be more than initially planned, in a long time to remain independent and will not be to acquire other companies?
A: For the last financing, we are most pleased that we are not short of capital because doing so only. The decision to finance more because we would like to further expand their areas of the introduction of different languages. In addition, we must also buy a large number of servers in Europe, all of which need to have sufficient funds for support, without which can only be empty talk.
We have to seriously sit down and discuss. From now on, we hope that in the next few years in how a place at the same time, the resources required to achieve the goals set? Not because we have no money available to finance the implementation of the plan, but to further expand the international market. In this sense, the financing is essential. We have to fight in San Francisco to create the necessary team and at the same time to upgrade products and increase investment in R & D and ultimately improve the competitiveness of the site. Of course, internationalization is also a need to consider the issue, but things still have to stay to do it next year.
Q: Do you have other social news sites to see how? Digg whether or not they have some hope in some way to emulate what?
A: This question well. I did not really used other people's products, never used their services. Yahoo Buzz in the first time, I like to upload an article. In fact, we never develop products to other people's things as a reference to the object, there is no question of what you said, "to follow."
Q: Do you think there are some cool and hope that you are the first to build things?
A: As for the other people's things, I do see some very interesting, I hope Digg can become like them and so feel a certain kind of cool. But for many other products, features, I do not have this kind of thinking. I think the StumbleUpon toolbar has done great to be able to provide users with many of the proposals, which for us is really interested in, but we do not decide to do now. We now have the tools to be a very good.
Network traffic to wait and see
Q: Does the current financial situation would force Digg to make some adjustments? After all, in the third round of financing soon after the terrible financial picture will be opened.
A: There will be no change. Digg have enviable advantages, one of which is that we have always adopted a "prudent" strategy. Our team is very small-scale, site content is also a text file to a large extent play a leading role. In bandwidth, we do not like YouTube every week as we still have to put millions of dollars. For us, the only time we should be aware of what kind of employment of employees, why do they employ and whether we need this person is sufficient. In a year or two years, we will not have to become a staff of 400 large companies. We have to do is clear at what point in need of help at the same time seems to slow the growth of security. Will increase to a certain extent, reflect our Web site traffic, but traffic is not always necessary.
Q: After the election, your Web site traffic will decrease?
A: We certainly do not want to see this happen. You mention this issue very well and our Web site traffic has been increasing month by month. Be able to maintain this momentum really need to have sufficient luck, we will no doubt be lucky, even in the absence of any major news, we still maintain varying degrees of growth. In the Olympic Games to be held during the rapid growth of Web site traffic and the increase was great. In addition, there is a major science and technology news or information related to Apple, the situation is the same. So far, we do not have any traffic on the site assessment, we have to wait and see the good.
