Former Digg programmer ready for his book deal ... hello? Hello?
"Anyone out there who would like to talk about a book contract, I think I have some compelling material, given the right deal," trolls Owen Byrne, who left Digg for the presumably more stable workplace at TravelPod, a travel-blogging site launched in 1997 and now part of the Expedia network of sites. Book agents, Byrne's full pitch after the jump. No fighting!
Recent news about digg and my almost completely unplanned but surprisingly snowball-like PR campaign (watch this space for announcements) has given me more motivation to write about my involvement in the origins of digg. The fact that I work at a company vastly larger than digg, even after the latest round of funding, offers me a pulpit of sorts, where I can speak more freely about my experiences from October 2004-January 2006. Anyone out there who would like to talk about a book contract, I think I have some compelling material, given the right deal. And I'm fat because I sit at a computer 15 hours a day. This picture is a proof for an article ;-)
