   Thanks!

   I'll have a recording of it up on the site for you. But I hope you listen
   live so you can ask him questions.

   Thanks!

   I can't wait to do it.

   When I was building out an invitation site a couple of years ago, I felt
   like a big failure because Kevin Rose could hire a developer on elance to
   redo his site for almost nothing, while I was struggling with mine.

   Now I get to ask how much of that is true. And what can I learn (or copy)
   from Digg's success.

   Well I for one am looking forward to dispelling the myth that Digg was all done by K.Rose and some magic wand/spell/potion..Damn proud that a Canadian helped start it all Ay?

   As what its like to be many years older that the typical Web 2.0 coder and how he keeps up with the young whipper snappers…

   Cheers…

    Question for Owen “Does Digg really have a future?” “How has the Digg experience changed you?”

    A reply to:

    “It leaves us wondering, “If Owen and Kevin can build a top site for a few hundred bucks, why are we struggling for so long and spending so much money just getting our site launched?!””

    Poor product manager, product strategy and development prioritization. A great product manager can guide a team of crappy engineers. Great engineers and great product strategy = win. Good engineering only gets you there faster, but product strategy defines what “there” is.

    Very interesting interview, I had no idea who Owen Byrne was until I watched this.

    Two key takeaways for me:

    - Bootstrap as much as you can, hold off on the VC's.

    - Find a flaw in your competition and capitalize on it.

    Thanks again for the interviews Andrew!

    You gave me one of my best questions. Thanks!

16. AndrewWarner Says:
    May 14th, 2009 at 11:26 pm

    This was a great question. I asked him. Thanks for this.

17. AndrewWarner Says:
    May 14th, 2009 at 11:26 pm

    Thanks Will. I used this question and credited you.

18. AndrewWarner Says:
    May 14th, 2009 at 11:28 pm

    Thanks.

    We're working on this. Because you brought it up, I was at least able to
    post a note on the Mixergy homepage.

    In the (near) future, we'll have the top images (Seth Godin, etc) replaced
    with a clickable message saying we're live.

    Meant to say this interview was great thanks to your input.

    Grateful for the help.

20. AndrewWarner Says:
    May 14th, 2009 at 11:32 pm

    You said it.

    I was trying to get that bootstrap point into the excerpt video, but
    couldn't squeeze in another point.
