Live Diggnation NYC Recap -- New News: Sirius Attempting a Deal With Revision3
Tonight in the middle of nowhere Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Digg held a party and a live Diggnation taping. I've embeded some of my photos below. I got to meet Jeff Jarvis and his son Jake along with seeing Sarah Meyers Austin, the Viddler boys, AJ Vaynerchuk. AJ has accepted an intern position with Revision3 and will be moving out to San Francisco next week and will sleep on couches for the entire two months. I hear he is going to attempt to create a show bigger than his brother, Gary Vee's wine show.
While waiting outside, I spoke with a man from Sirius satellite radio. He said that he was there to meet with the Revision3 team on a potential partnership to, "bring Revision3 shows to Sirius."
The scene was mad, apparently over 1,000 people showed up for the event. The overall crowd was about 80% young men and about 20% young women. Honestly, it was a bit weird to see Revision3 CEO Jim Louderback jumping up and down like a lunatic on stage when just a week ago he spoke at the MediaBistro Circus.
Brian Brushwood from Scam School opened the event by sticking pins and needles in various parts of his body. To be honest, the stuff was freaky. Apparently tomorrow at some point in the evening he is going to attempt to scam iTunes into giving him the #1 ranking in the podcasts category. The event will be coordinated on Twitter, so follow him if you want in.
Here are my photos...













As being a person who loves technology and more importantly internet business, im probably the furthest thing from a tech geek there is. That being said, i have never understood the whole Diggnation love affair. It is just two guys talking crap on a couch while drinking beer. Dont get me wrong they are very good at talking crap, but after about 5 min they just start to bore me. However, they seem to be like rockstarts in the USA. Why the hell is this??
you should realize now why Digg won't sell - it's Kevin's thing - if he goes, Digg goes.
super site. thanks
Haha my face says it all in that second photo. I don't think any of us saw that coming...
This was by far the best Diggnation event ever. Can't wait to see the episode this Friday.
