- Look, Mom, we made a verb!May 12 2008

It’s been a wild couple of weeks. Time magazine included me in their annual TIME 100 list this year. While an extraordinary honor, it’s always a bit strange to find yourself on list like that. Last week, Digg won a Webby People’s Voice Award. And this week, Sarah Lacy is releasing her new book in which Kevin and I are among the wacky cast of characters. It’s even more startling to see yourself portrayed in a book, although so much has happened at Digg since we first started speaking with Sarah a couple of years ago. She actually finished talking to us for the book such a long time ago that it’s interesting to see her perspective from that snapshot in time.
In any case, with all of these recent events, it got me thinking about entrepreneurship and how far Digg has come in such a very short time.
It was only two years ago that Digg had a team of only fifteen people. Back then, we were still very focused on technology news, though we already had plans (from the very beginning) to launch V3 and expand beyond to other content and media types, which we did shortly after we started talking to Sarah in July of 2006.

If you haven't seen Gary on his insanely popular Wine Library TV, you need to check it out. Meanwhile, if you're anything like me, it's time to do a little "sniffy sniff" and check out Gary's book that is making him famous! (yes, click below!)
We love you Gary!
