IAC's Connected Ventures may have done it first, and AOLers in France may have done it better, but give Digg's companywide lip-synching video credit. Skip ahead to check out Jay Adelson at 2:02. Rewind from there to see Kevin Rose Digg underlings jumping up on a conference-room table. (Founder Kevin Rose doesn't actually appear until the very end, where he declares the group "crazy" and leaves. For his future dignity, a wise move. No one has, as yet, leaked footage of Barry Diller or Randy Falco wearing shades and rapping.) Full clip is below:
Yes, that's Jay Adelson rapping and Kevin Rose not dancing

that is the funniest
Holy crap that was the coolest thing I've ever seen.
They got something right. Now onto making a site that doesn't contradict its own existence.
Nice of them to have hired all of those extras...
I mean, Digg can't possibly have all of those people on staff, could they? ;)
Was KRose even in that video? That's definitely not him on the table, that's Dan something-or-other.
So, this was a community management exercise so we can see their faces?
Um, okay.
Aubrey -- awesome job!
Um, that's not Kevin on the table. Dan Huard, look it up.
@ashkan: Why does most sarcasm have to hold truth behind it?
Why does a self-proclaimed digital democracy need a staff? Just press the button on the Hal 9000 and...
Man, they have more secret moderators than I thought possible!
That was pretty cool though.
i don't understand all the praise for this. I sort of cringed thru the whole thing.
This is news that's vital to the Valley? Just sayin'.
Wow, look at what self-absorbed dorks who are still harboring resentment for being dorks in high school and college can do! I would say to pat yourselves on the back if you didn't already do it on an hourly basis. Now go have a meeting with your Starbucks and Blackberrys firmly in-hand and discuss strategies that you can wrap your minds around while thinking globally and outside of the box.
i want to work there now =) just party and drink bear with geeks
