hey guys ... this week, i think 2 if not 3 videos featured on the digg reel were also used on diggnation.
When that happens, if makes me feel as though i've wasted bandwidth downloading either shows. There are so many stories to talk about, diggnation should leave the better videos to the digg reel. I mean, that's really all they got too.

I will never watch digg reel again,Personally think the show is a waste.
I love diggnation and even if they stopped showing videos on diggnation then I would just watch it on Digg.

Have to agree a little bit on the showing off the same stories, then again, Diggnation isn't much of a show, just people talking. I wouldn't mind so much if Kevin and Alex showed a sense of time in the show, getting through a bunch of stories instead of just doing a few.

I think Alex Albrecht said it best: "another hour squandered".
This would have to be worst episode ever. The content was stale and the presenters looked as if they just couldn't be bothered. What's wrong with these guys, have they suddenly found themselves in the bonds of indentured servitude?
On top of all this Kevin Rose either dissed Australia or ASIO (http://www.asio.gov.au/) is keeping an eye on him! What gives Kevin? Not cool dude... not cool.

I, personally am not a fan of the Digg Reel. It's a good concept, but the host is not very entertaining to watch. For me i'd much rather watch something else.

I watched the pilot episode for Digg Reel, but Diggnation is just so much better in many ways.

funny thing about that is, they were at 24 minutes ...

i dunno if that was the worst episode ever, sometimes on a given week the stories just arent so interesting. what really is annoying is how you feel they just hand pick stories by title without actually researching anything .. it's happened more than once that the guys stalled trying to read the stories, sometimes even backtracking from stories that turned out to be not so interesting afterall ...

again, i dunno about that .. ? there could be hundreds of reasons why they couldnt go to australia.. after all, you guys are wayyy down there, you dont just go to australia like you go to europe or whatever.
anyways, still keep up the good work, if you the guys feel worn out they should better take a breather than go on making shows out of disinterest & boredom

How do we know they personally pick all the stories? But them now always knowing about them beforehand, we get their reactions to them.

I usually very much enjoy the Diggnation part of my week, and while I don't expect the two shows to start organizing around each other, the quality of show definitely goes down if you've seen all the cool new videos a week earlier on another podcast.
Of course this requires you to watch both, but it doesn't help that they're essentially getting their stories from the same source.
Almost half of your stories were about the same videos, and while I enjoy the banter you two share in your episodes, this just killed the episode for me, almost like a rehashed news report, where you're hearing the sames stories just slightly different commentary.
Also, being an Aussie, I wasn't offended by what Kevin said, I mean for the love of god, they're Americans, its like a bum laughing at the garbage driver, "look at him he's collecting trash for a living", while the bum is a freaking bum, any self examination would cause reflux.

I recall Kevin mentioning in earlier episode (before Amsterdam) the discussion of the possibility of a show in Australia was that it was just too far for them to fly - and I'd have to agree. There would have to be a much more compelling reason to fly 18-20 hrs straight, half way across the world just to do a show. And it's not just the two of them, I'm sure the Revision 3 staff that does all the behind the scenes stuff would have to fly out too - and it becomes way too costly an exercise.
How about we Aussie fans meet you guys half way? Say Hawaii.... when Virgin Australia is launched, can't they partner up with Virgin America and offer some sorta cheap flights deal or something?! That would be awesome. :) (However unlikely)
Digg Reel reminds me of a "funniest video" kind of show... Not sure if you have in your countries, but in the UK we have You've Been framed... where its just videos of people being stupid.
It has the same style of commentary as the digg reel... annoying and you feel sorry that presenter has to force the lame jokes out.
Diggnation, is much more fun and the presenters offer their personal opinion on stories. The last few episodes have been kind of rushed, and I find myself checking the Run-time below the videos, to see how rushed they actually are. We need to see some kind of standards for diggnation... it used to be the top stories, but now its just whatever the hell kevin wants to talk about. The stories he has are still interesting, but as an avid Digg user, I see many stories being passed up as a result.
ehhh, who carress! Diggnation 4eva!
