Written on February 22, 2008 – 9:16 am
Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten,
If you came here from Digg it would be great if you could actually Digg us too! Do you have a start-up that we should write about? Contact us! Thanks for visiting and hope you come back again!
Amsterdam (The Netherlands) will be buzzing on April 3, 2008 when Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht will present and record their famous Diggnation show during the third edition of The Next Web Conference.
Diggnation is the biggest weekly online TV show averaging 500.000 viewers per episode. It is highly popular and influential amongst internet professionals. This will be the first time that Diggnation will be recorded from the European mainland and The Next Web Conference is very proud to host this unique event.
Diggnation is breaking new grounds for web-based video and as a testament Virgin America has recently announced that they will include Diggnation in their entertainment systems. Diggnation has sprung out of Digg.com and discusses the most funny and bizarre news of the week on the web.
Diggnation is one of the shows of Revision3, founded by Kevin Rose, David Prager and Jay Adelson, is the internet TV leader for the next generation.

I go to diggnation and some virus scanner pops up takes over the browser and then wisks me of for a check up.
If I want a virus scanner I will go and get one. This is the worst kind of advsertising there is out there. Digg - 10 points!

Very cool! Got the same thing as Steven though when I wanted to check out their latest video, same spammy like advertising pop-up. Can’t imagine this is done on purpose, so there must be something wrong?

If they need some advertising ideas that are NOT offensive then I think they might benefit from my earlier post:

Saw them at FOWA too last October. Really funny! Are you going to sell “Diggnation Only”-tickets too, just like Carsonified did at FOWA?

This is truly a great advantage for The Next Web conference.
Nicely done Boris!

Really cool that they’re coming to Amsterdam. I’ve been to the live-show in London and that was really amazing.
Though does anyone know the date they’re coming for sure. Because on Kevin Rose’s Facebook page, it says they’re doing the show april 4th.
