Diggnation is being retired by Revision3. Diggnation is just a fun show in which Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht talk about cool stories from Digg.com.
After 340 episodes Diggnation will end even though it seems to be among its five most watched shows, according to the The New York Times.
Goodbye Diggnation.. it was fun!
fforward is the new show hosted by Kevin Rose.
It was reported earlier this week that Kevin Rose, co-founder of Digg, and co-host for the massively popular show, Diggnation, would be stepping down after five years of instigating laughs, on air pranks, and general fandom news based around his site. What is to become of Diggnation is apparently up in the air as c0-host Alex Albrecht is still attached to the project, but for Rose, it’s time to move on.
Rose, who is trading in his five years with Diggnation for greener pastures and new opportunities has already announced a new show, titled ffwoard (pronounced “forward”). Thus far Revision3 will be the home for the new show and in a change to what Rose is familiar with, the show will be recorded and aired LIVE.
According to sources, fforward claims to be a tech/geek culture show where Rose will be able to interact live with fans, and there are many, along with having rotating guest hosts, how-to’s, and product demos. There’s no doubt that thus far Rose has a huge following, the question is whether they will transfer their allegiance to a new show.
Only time will tell, but one this is for sure, travel time for both Alex (based in L.A.) and Rose (based in San Francisco) will be greatly reduced. Are you amped for fforward? Get in on the launch announcements by visiting the site and signing up.
