Interview With Digg CEO Matt Williams On Future Of Digg

I spoke with Digg CEO Matt Williams today about the departure of founder Kevin Rose to work on a new startup, and where Digg goes from here. Williams is extremely bullish on Digg. Traffic stabilized in January, he says, at about 20 million unique monthly visitors. The company has just 35 employees, he says, after 40% layoffs late last year. With the decreased burn rate the company is approaching cash flow positive, he says, and should get there this year. This is clearly a big priority for Williams, who is about to celebrate six months with the company. But he also has big product plans for Digg, he says. "A year from now Digg will look very different. It will have a fantastic zeitgeist of the news product but it will also be many other things to news readers," he told me.
