Should Kevin Rose have sold digg.com to Jason Calacanis?

Should Kevin Rose have sold digg. Com to Jason Calacanis? Yes, he would be a millionaire and would have made more money on it than he has by holding on to it.

The founder of MySpace, Tom, was very wise to sell MySpace to NewsCorp while it was still popular. Now MySpace is strongly for survival! For better or for worse, people have short attention spans (especially online) and fads come and go.

Remember when AOL and Yahoo were popular? Dare I say, remember when Microsoft was the industry giant? Now that torch has been passed on to Google.

If Jason owned digg, would he have taken it to unparalleled heights and brought it to profit in 2 years? I'm not sure what Jason (or anyone) could have done to bring Digg to "unparalleled heights. " Though I think the digg.Com homepage could be made a lot more attractive and easier.

Ultimately, I think Digg is in big trouble because people are sharing and spreading information now via Twitter and YouTube.

I don't know the details of the early offer. However, I do know two things: 1) Jason is a savvy investor. He has "early adoption dna" meaning that he has the ability to spot trends and has enough money and kahunas to take risks.2) Rose is a smart dude.

I don't say this lightly. He's wicked smart in a bunch of different areas, he knows how to apply his talents and when he doesn't have the skills to complete a task, he asks for help. Based on these things, I think that Rose did make the correct decision.

I have seen my fair share of "funky" deals and sometimes the first funky deal is the best. Sometimes however, your intuition tells you not to take a deal and sometimes that works out. Rose has done well with Digg since Jason's offer and rejecting it has played a part in making Digg what it is today.

Would Digg be better under Jason's control? There is no way to tell. Jason's success is attributed to the people that work with him.

He would have attracted different people to that project and those people along with Jason's direction could have either made better or worse decisions.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
