In case you missed it, Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht of Diggnation appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on NBC last night. This isn’t the first time Jimmy Fallon and the Diggnation guys have teamed up, as Jimmy was on Diggnation a few weeks ago. But this time, Kevin and Alex were on Jimmy’s court, from his studio in 30 Rockefeller Center in New York City.
If you missed it, here’s the entire segment of Kevin and Alex on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon:
Watch it on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’s site
Give Kevin and Alex’s appearance a Digg
All in all it was a great day for Diggnation. Not only were Kevin and Alex psyched to be on the show, but the Diggnation fans came and represented, as some were in line as early as 8 AM. Jimmy was nice enough to get the die-hard fans some breakfast:
We’d like to thank Jimmy Fallon and his entire, awesome team at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and the folks at NBC for welcoming Diggnation onto their show and thanks to all of you, the loyal Diggnation fans who attended and watched at home.
thanks.

Recently James Martin of CNET stopped by our offices and studio and took some photos of Revision3, behind the scenes. He also visited Kevin Rose’s apartment and took some photos of Diggnation being taped. Recently the photos along with some cool audio narration from Jim Louderback, David Prager, and Kevin Rose were posted over at CNET. If you’re curious about how we produce shows like The Digg Reel and Diggnation, then you definitely have to check out this audio slideshow. It’s a super cool combination of photos and the folks that make Revision3 tick talking about what we do.
thanks.

We started off 2009 with an update to the user interface of our flash player, which everyone appears to really like. But let’s be honest, that was just a much improved cosmetic change. When we rolled it out, we said that we’d have more functionality and changes to the flash player into 2009, and today we’re very excited to share with you the next step in upgrading of the Revision3 Flash player.
Today’s update to the flash player introduces two new buttons on the user interface, “Share” and “Embed”. We’ve made it much easier for you to now take your favorite Revision3 shows and share them with your friends, either by email, posting on your site, or submitting to the social network of your choice. Now all you have to do is click “Share” and you’ll see the flash player transform into a panel with options to provide you the URL to share, or one click post to Twitter, Digg, Facebook and many others.
But we didn’t stop there. Oh no, there’s more. We’re also rolling out the ability for you, the viewer, to choose the clip of your choice to share with your friends. Once you click “Share” or “Embed”, you’ll notice a timeline above the video, and markers that show the time in the video. All you need to do is click on the starting marker and drag to the point of the video you’d like your clip to start at, and then do the same for the end marker. The URL, embed codes and links to other sites automatically update, making sharing your favorite moment easier than ever! So now, when you want to show your buddy that moment when Jimmy Fallon busted on Alex in Diggnation, or show your Dad a cool product review on Tekzilla, you can just pick your clip, and share away! We’re super excited for this bit of functionality and we hope it’s something you, the audience, can find easy to use and enjoy.
Here is the latest episode of Tekzilla if you would like to play with the new functionality:
Like I said, this is the next step in our rollout of enhanced functionality for our flash player, which hopefully will make your viewing experience on Revision3 as awesome as you want it to be. Stay tuned for more updates and changes in the coming months. We’ve got some super cool stuff still in development that we can’t wait to share with you! And as always, let us know what you think. Leave a comment below or talk about it in our forums.
thanks.
