My StumbleUpon PageI was so going to blog about the Digg Town Hall Meeting, but…
… I didn’t because there wasn’t much to talk about. A few questions got answered, but for the most part, it was just plain rushed. A few minutes past an hour into it, Rose and Adelson seemed to have something more important to do, so they were gone.
