Who, How, When & Why

“We are a small team based in New York City, and we've been working on and thinking about news applications for awhile now. Before we acquired Digg, we launched products for email, iPad, and iPhone out of a startup called News.me. Digg was originally founded in 2004, but in the summer of 2012, we rebuilt it from scratch in six weeks. You can read more about that here.”
