Times have really changed... North Technologies domain name is: n-o-r-t-h-t-e-c-h-n-o-l-o-g-i-e-s.com
Is my browser just making the link not obvious?
I like KR, but I wish I knew the true story from the Digg days til now. He needs to write an autobiography or something. I feel like there's a lot of subtext that I'm missing. We get to see the news of him joining Google, going part time, leaving but still "an advisor". These are all what the public sees. But what's the real story? I know there must be more to it.
What do you mean? He started a company (Milk) that was bought as an acquihire. He worked at Google Ventures while he vested (and it was probably a good job while he got married, etc), but after a few years wanted to get back out there and build. He spent a few months transitioning out of GV (he had invested in a lot of companies; he couldn't just walk away), and now he's working full time on North. I'm sure there's a…

His story is fascinating. Some of us grew up watching him on TechTV, then he catches magic in a bottle with Digg, has a chance to sell for hundreds of millions, tragically loses that chance as his company loses traction and the upstart competitor (Reddit) becomes the one hosting amas by actors and politicians. His story is almost Jobsian.
That is my honest, constructive criticism of a company aimed at high end watch aficionados.

There's a huge portion of that story missing if you leave out Digg.

It's entirely possible that he wanted his GV role to continue but he did not succeed there. It's also possible that the cover story is true. We will likely never know.

The only link on the page for me was the name which linked back to the homepage...which I was already on.
Parsed the source and all I see is some flickr sites credited for the image.
No idea how I got that.
