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.
