Still quick fortunes to be made in Silicon Valley

Post by Winnow »

I listen to the Digg Podcast off and on. Kevin Rose is a host along with Alex Albrecht. (two names that aren't household names)

Basically they drink beers on the weekly podcast and talk about tech news and other random shit. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes they are so drunk they don't make any sense.

Kevin Rose lived in an apartment with a few other people and now he's on the cover of Business Week with the headline, "How This Kid Made 60 Million in 18 Months".

I haven't read or found out how he did it but he spent the whole year drinking beer while making podcasts. Obviously he was doing something else as well. I think he's a founder of the digg.com board.

Good work! That's got to rank pretty high on the desired job list.

Edit:

Bah, looks like that's an older cover of Business week and the money is tied to the value of digg.com

Still, not a bad way to make a living.
