Presents for our founding Revision3/Diggnation subscribers!

Stephanie Chu — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 23:01:38 +0000

This has been a long time coming, but our gifts to our founding Diggnation members are here. A few months ago, we updated our release policy to allow all Revision3 viewers to enjoy the same video releases for free at the same time, retiring our advanced access to Diggnation for members. We wanted to say “thank you” to those who had paid annual memberships in our early days - your support hasn’t gone unnoticed!

To give you a preview of your gifts, the Revision3 staff has taken the time (after work, of course) to model the limited edition 2008 Diggnation shirts. Those of you who registered with us as paid members in the past will receive these in the mail except yours will be extra cool because they’ll be signed by Kevin Rose! We think the shirts came out awesome, and hope you do, too.

When you get your shirts, maybe you can take a picture of yourself and post ‘em in the forums. Enjoy the photos!

Revision3 CEO Keynoting at NextMedia

Jim Louderback — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 16:03:24 +0000

Hey, CEO Jim Louderback here. So my old friend Rick Segal, ex Microsoft employee (he was an evangelist for Windows 95!!), and now a Canadian VC, introduced me to these guys at NextMedia.

It sounds like a really cool exec conference, takes place in Banff in June. Focuses on Canadian media. And hey, with the Tiki Bar TV folks and other great internet video stars hailing from Canada, I figured, why not go.

Then they invited me to keynote. W00t! Check out our NextMedia press release here, but this one’s going to be fun. I’m bringing the family too.

(BTW, Rick’s also a blogger, check out his Post Money Value, it is hella good)
