Key People

Management

Jay Adelson, CEO

Jay Adelson was suckered out of the world of film and broadcasting into helping kick-start the Internet industry in 1993. Since then, he helped engineer Netcom, the first ISP in the United States, worked at DEC research lab in Palo Alto to build the secret back-end of the Internet (PAIX), and founded the billion-dollar Equinix [EQIX] which, if shut off, would screw up the Internet.

As Chief Executive, Jay is responsible for leading the company to execute on the vision of democratizing the media and using humans to make sense of an ever-increasing overload of information. His primary tools to achieve this are an amazingly great staff, a cell phone and video chat.

Jay spends a great deal of time trying to sucker Kevin Rose out of the world of film and broadcasting into helping kick-start the Internet industry.

Kevin Rose, Founder & Chief Architect

Kevin Rose, an obsessive tea drinker, spends his time in between podcasting, climbing, digging, and inventing Digg's next gen features.

Prior to founding Digg, Kevin produced and hosted hundreds of segments on TechTV - a cable television network available in over 45 million homes in the United States and distributing content to more than 70 countries.

Unfortunately, Kevin's extended exposure to Digg results in him repeating the words 'dupe, dupe, no digg' over and over while sleeping.
