How can you call it a "success". By measures used by some of the above comments, eToys would be considered a big success. Users don't mean success. Digg can't monetize it's 22-35 year-old, tech savvy crowd beyond a certain point. These people (including myself) rarely pay attention to ads.</p> Digg is not profitable.

I doubt Revision 3 is any different.

I can’t help but scratch my head and wonder how Rose’s investors keep pouring millions into his projects when to date, he has shown ZERO ability to turn a profit.
