I know without Alex Albrecht....there is no current diggnation. How big apart of the digg.com world is he though?

Kevin and Alex do make one heck of a team on camera. In fact they keep such a good conversation going that I emailed them to ask them how they do it:

In episode 83 you guys hinted to not talking about stories prior to the show. Makes perfect sense, I'm sure it helps keep the dialogue during the taping active (and funny). It does seem sometimes that Kevin has some pretty big stuff happening that Alex doesn't know about and visa verse. For example: "Hey Alex Ill have to tell you about....." or "Kevin, the shittiest thing happened to me yesterday......". Some of those things seem like stuff you would have already talked about just chit chatting. Like the iPhone details conversation.

What is communication like for you guys living in San Francisco and Los Angles? Is it just once a week that you shoot the shit? How long do you guys hang out after the show?

Sorry for all these invasive questions. Its cool watching the interaction. Its like you guys are talking like you haven't talked in a while, which in my opinion creates a better atmosphere. Some "shows" I’ve seen seem so rehearsed and they skip good parts of conversation because "they talked about it already".


The question I had is....What does Alex digg?

I often catch comments and dugg stories by Kevin, but the stats of Alex are a little less seen:

Last dugg story....about 43 days ago

Last comment...246 days ago

Last submitted story...357 days ago

Maybe he is under a new name...but each show ends with "check out our user profiles"

Just as I follow what Kevin is digging, Id like to keep up with Alex too.


What’s up Alex?

They're apparently really good friends in real life. So it's natural for conversation to flow.

you doo realize he uses the alias diggnation when he looks up the stories that their going to talk about... and just cuz u dont digg doesnt mean that you dont visit the site and who cares if he diggs like a maniac or not lol i have guildwars and havent played it in like a year... does that mean i quit on it?

i think the 'diggnation' alias was created so we have a reference of what was on the diggnation podcast.

I may be wrong, but I dont think Alex uses that one to browse and comment.

I didnt want to imply that Alex quit, just that he hasnt used his digg.com/users/alex.... to show what he does digg.

The only time I actually cared what I've seen Kevin digg is when I notice a stupidly lame story he dugg, and then I'm like "Kevin, that was dumb."
