    About Diggnation



    Diggnation is a weekly tech/web culture show based on the top digg.com

social bookmarking news stories presented by co-hosts Alex Albrecht and

Kevin Rose.



    Alex Albrecht has participated in the entertainment industry for six

years. He founded and directed the popular, Los Angeles-based improv comedy

troupe, The Misfit Toys. The group was featured in Stuff Magazine and on

MTV. Alex subsequently appeared in a number of national television

commercials for companies such as Volkswagen, Domino's, and Dell. After a

chance meeting with a TechTV producer at a wedding, Alex landed the

co-hosting role on TechTV's The Screen Savers. It was at TechTV that he met

Kevin Rose, and one of the most successful Internet television partnerships

was born.



    Kevin Rose is the founder and chief architect of Digg. He oversees all

aspects of the management and development of the Web site. Kevin started

Digg in September 2004 as a personal project. His initial idea was to

conduct a social experiment in how masses of users could control and

promote news and other content on the Web, without external editorial

control. After a very short time, he realized the power of his idea, as

Digg was becoming a resource for breaking news stories and developed a

strong community following. Kevin is also a co-founder of Revision3, where,

as a member of the board, he provides strategic direction to the company.
