I used to be a huge fan of Kevin Rose, but the more I watch his shows, the less I like him. I haven’t watched Diggnation for a long while, so watching episode 133, the first in the new year, I had high hopes.

The guys, unlike normal, were sipping tea and whatnot, rather then the normal beers. This hopefully made them a little less buzzed, and silly, as they sometimes get later into their episodes.

The show has a simple format. Alex and Kevin cover their “top stories” from Digg.com. Some of them are interesting, most are kind of stupid. Alex saves the show for me, with his wit and personality.

If you go back and watch the first five or ten episodes, it is very technology focused, and now, its mostly stupid videos.

They did mention Nano Solar, a product I am very interested in and for me, that’s saved this episode of the show. It would be nice if they knew more about the technology they decided to talk about as the rambled on about how cool it would be if everything were solar powered, but not understanding even the basics about the technology.

Diggnation is really only a five out of ten. It has some good content, Alex is a great co-host, and the show is very polished. On the downside, if you’ve seen half a dozen episodes, you really don’t need to see any more as the format and type of stories is exactly the same.

This is part of my one month of Revision3.
