 | | It was with one Revision3 cohort, technologist Jay Adelson, that Rose got the idea for a website that would let the audience sift through the gamut of worldwide tech news stories too vast for a one-person editorial team to cover alone. |
 | | So nervous was Rose, however, about his broadcast-era fans learning of the new venture and turning it into a Kevin Rose appreciation society that he entrusted registration of the digg.com domain (dig.com was too pricey) to a high-school friend, Jerimiah Udy, so that his name wouldn't be linked to the project. |
 | | A version 2.0 of Digg was launched this summer, borrowing features from social-software services like del.icio.us and adding broadcast immediacy through a page featuring a rolling list of live news links, appearing on the site in real time as they are posted by readers. |
