Kevin Rose Goes for Third Startup

Monday, May. 14 2007 | Author: Dave

If you follow everything Kevin Rose does, from Digg, to Revision3, you might be happy to know that he is planning on trying something new.

From GigaOM:

Business Week poster boy Kevin Rose is rumored to have teamed up with Daniel Burka also of Digg, and first time entrepreneur Leah Culver and has started a new company. Rose and Burka have worked closely on tools like Digg Spy. Burka is one of the main designers of Digg.com. Rose and Burka have worked closely for nearly two years.

We have learned from sources familiar with the company, that the trio are currently working on a new kind of a communications tool, that can be dubbed as an IM competitor. The company which is currently operating in stealth mode is going launch sometime later this month.

I am not sure the world needs another IM cometitor, or Twitter clone or really anything in that niche, but I am sure if Kevin headlines it, then it will be a success, just because he has quickly become the name that many blindly follow.
