Kevin Rose: Digg Failed Because ‘Social Media Grew Up’ [WSJ]

Kevin Rose chalked up Digg’s failure to a combination of its own
missteps along with an acknowledgement that the news-sharing site was
outmaneuvered by Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc. Among the missteps:
Digg botched its re-launch in the summer of 2010, and, more
importantly, he said the company was slow to respond to the criticism.
“We were desperately trying to figure out how to get traffic back,” he
said. “A bunch of the community had already revolted by the time we
fixed it.”
