Kevin Rose was presenting the site on The Screen Savers back in December 2004. The reason I found the video interesting is the way in which Kevin was describing the whole thing. He kept talking about the site as if it wasn&#8217;t actually his. In reality, Kevin was one of the founding members of the site, and this whole self promotion without letting anyone know its his site seems kind of deceptive. I don&#8217;t really know why he wasn&#8217;t more upfront with the matter that it was his. Maybe the producers at G4TV wouldn&#8217;t have allowed him to show it has they known. Either way, I remember that it wasn&#8217;t long after this video that he actually quit G4. Regardless, the video itself shows off a very old version of Digg with a lot less features and an uglier design.
