I’m proud to announce the latest show in our expanding Revision3 lineup.. The Digg Reel!
Hosted by the lovely and talented Jessica Corbin, The Digg Reel builds on the incredible success of Digg’s Video section by providing a weekly countdown of all the great videos that have bubbled up to the top. It’s not just cats and Mentos either, we’re talking poignant, powerful and pathetic videos too!
Don’t think Diggnation lite, because it’s not that. By focusing on the top videos, we’re letting the material do the talking, not the host. And that’s only right. Why listen to someone talk about a video when you can watch the choicest parts? That’s what we’re doing; counting down the top Digg videos by showing you part of each one.
But it’s more than just video. We’re also bringing in the Digg community, by highlighting the best, funniest, wackiest and most insightful comments about those videos. That means everyone gets into the act, video creators and Digg’s community too!
Speaking of the videographers we’ll be highlighting, expect to see more than a few of them show up as guests from time to time as well. We intend to go behind the videos, to bring you the madcap geniuses responsible.
Why do the Digg Reel? Well first, it’s a fun and fast-paced 10-15 minute weekly show that you won’t want to miss. But we’re also saving you time and energy. Instead of feeling like you have to wade through hundreds of bad videos to find a few nuggets, we serve them up to you on a silver platter. Don’t have time to watch all those videos, but still want to know what everyone’s talking about? Just watch The Digg Reel and you’ll be on top of it. Oh, and we’ll also save your stomach. Because we’ll make sure you know all about videos like “Two Girls One Cup”, without actually grossing you out (too much). So you’ll know what it means, without destroying one of life’s little pleasures.
But enough of me talking. Just watch it! The first episode of these top videos is available now, and we’ll have new ones out every week, at 4pm (est) on Wednesdays. Why not subscribe (for free) right now?
Finally, my thanks to Mike Maser and Beth Murphy at Digg – who collaborated with us and ensured we created the best product possible. And thanks also to David Prager, the awesome producer of the show.
