17:00-19:45 So Digg is still chugging along?
19:45-20:30 And there's a lot at Facebook that came out of Digg, right?
20:30-22:00 Diggnation became a real phenomenon.
22:00-23:30 Why are you turning it off? Is it just taking up too much time and energy?
23:30-25:15 You're a performer, too, and you want to go out on top.

36:00-37:00 How do you reconcile that decision as a founder?
37:00-39:45 Tell us about Oink. What's the mission?
39:45-43:00 There are shades of a lot of other sites like Foursquare, Gowalla and even Digg. How long did it take to build?
43:00-45:00 Based on this success, why go on to a second app if Oink is doing so well?
