Digg has changed. And not for the better. I’ve hit my breaking point with the popular, “democratic” news site and I’m nearing the end of using it. There isn’t one reason for ending my time with Digg; it’s been a mixture of four main problems I’ve been having with the site.

Pance: Kevin Rose’s Newest Startup

April 15th, 2008 | 4 Comments | Posted in uncategorized

Kevin Rose\'s Newest Startup

Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, Revision3, and Pownce, is at it again with Pance. Similar to Pownce, Pance lets you share pants with your friends around the world. How does it work? Pance is working with the postal service to offer discounted pants shipping (DPS). With a super cheap way to send pants, the idea of sending and receiving pants will revolutionize web 2.0.

The service is still in private beta and is only allowing pants sending in the United States. Kevin Rose has promised Pance integration in Pownce and Digg; giving Pance a huge network at it’s finger tips. Revision3 is also in talks to create a Pance related web show showcasing new and interesting pants.

Levi’s has given Pance $12.7 million in funding and has shown interest in offering a “one size fits all” pair of pants. The new communal pants will be durable and long lasting where ever they are in the world.

I also was able to grab a shot of the Pants website. It’s very simple and takes many design queues from Pownce. Click picture for larger picture.
