Biography of Kevin Rose
Robert Kevin Rose, better known as Kevin Rose, was born in Redding, California and spent his childhood in Las Vegas, Nevada. Kevin first encountered a computer at the age of eight when his father brought home a brand new Gateway 80386 SX 16 in 1985. Little did his father know that his son would make a breakthrough in this field.
He received his education at Vo-Tech High School in Las Vegas. Kevin became the host of a technology TV show called "ScreenSavers," which was broadcasted on the TechTV channel. While working in television, Kevin participated in numerous projects that did not bring him fame or money (although he did receive attention from the audience on television).
One fine day, he noticed that newspaper editors and websites focused their attention on news that was not particularly interesting to him. This led Kevin Rose to come up with a website where readers could choose what they wanted to read. In 2004, Rose founded the social resource Digg, which gave millions of users the opportunity to exchange interesting news and articles and vote for them. By creating a "living news aggregator," Digg, Kevin Rose introduced a fundamentally new way of reading news on the internet. Now, to find out what the network is talking about, or at least its American part, it is enough to visit his website. Through user voting, Digg determines what recent news is truly important and what is not worth mentioning. The Digg community has become an influential force that must be taken into account not only on the Internet but also in the real world.
Interestingly, Kevin Rose played a significant role in the success of the Digg website as a person and public figure. The first users of his resource wished success to Kevin Rose himself, along with his project. Today, Digg is one of the most popular social networks worldwide.
Back in 2004, Kevin hired a freelance programmer whom he paid $12 per hour through the eLance service. Later, Kevin Rose acquired the domain Digg.com for $1,200. Then there was a huge leap in development when Kevin received investments amounting to $2.8 million. This marked the beginning of Digg.
Today, Kevin Rose is one of the few individuals who have changed the Internet. His name stands alongside the names of the "founding fathers" of Yahoo!, Wikipedia, eBay, Facebook, YouTube, and BitTorrent.
Kevin Rose is also a producer and owner of the well-known Internet resource Revision3, dedicated to technology.
