Kevin Rose says Digg to launch headline suggestions

I can't remember the name, but I ran across a startup that only did that; suggest stories based on what you might like.

Kevin: go work on something else. Slashdot quit adding features, and they kept their userbase. Your userbase is so demographically challenged as it is that a new feature won't help Digg.

Aside: Does Kevin Rose actually do anything for Digg, or is he nothing more than a character created by Digg marketing?

I continue to take a contrarian view on this company. Someone like AOL, Yahoo or MSN picks them up for $100M or they go out of business. I think this is a feature masquerading as a company.

@uncoveditor: You're right. Clearly I was taken in by Kevin Rose's Steve-Jobs-lite reality distortion field.
