The good news is that Digg's executives want to listen to their community. The bad news is that Digg's executives want to listen to their community.

what were your expectations?

It was a town hall meeting. Digg management LISTENING to their 'people'. It was not a platform for them to spout strategy or countering upcoming competitors. Give Kevin and Jay some credit for doing this. I'm just a normal user but I was intrigued enough to login and watch. I thought it was innovative (tho next time guys, let someone else read the chat rooms and feed you the questions via a prompter).

Sure, one could argue their loyal base just cared about themselves, but don't we all?

okay just a word to the wise, digg users are just like apple users
in the sense that passionate and militant! the worst thing was to
state u were a "outsider to Digg culture". yeah i'd close your
email account, ur about to get it up the u know what:P. nah, i'm
a digg lover, and i enjoy your stuff as well, so i thought i would
pass that little tidbit along. oh and mixx yeah sorry, it has
funding, but digg has more brand where it counts,:)! kevin and
crew may not of impressed u, but that is part of the culture.
think of it as the 90's all over again, but this time with money
making ideas, and they actually do things:)!
