As Pres. Obama marks his 100th day in office, Diggnation is celebrating its 200th episode on the Web. The Revision3 program, hosted by Digg founder Kevin Rose along with Alex Albrecht is going on four years.
“Diggnation practically invented Internet television,” said Jim Louderback, CEO, Revision3. Rose and Albrecht “were the first true Internet video stars, and along with their dedicated production team, they continue to create an award winning program each week.”
Episode 200, available here, features Rose and Albrecht running through the top stories on digg.com that have been creating global tech buzz.

Diggnation is a weekly tech/Web culture show based on the top Digg social bookmarking news stories, featuring hosts Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht. Episodes air every Wednesday at 6pmET. The show is seen by more than 250,000 viewers per week.

New TV Show To Do What Web Show Already Is Doing…Without the Beer
B&C’s Alex Weprin caught up with Revision3 CEO Jim Louderback to get his reaction to the announcement that Twentieth Television is launching a TV show based on Yahoo! Buzz, the search engine’s social news site.
Revision3 already produces a similar Web show called Diggnation based around the community story selection site Digg.
“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,” Louderback tells Weprin. “I wish them a lot of success. Hopefully, that will expand the audience for us, with people asking, ‘Who else does this and who does it better?’”
Diggnation is co-hosted by Digg co-founder Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht. Weprin reports that Twentieth Television isn’t commenting yet on the format of Yahoo! Buzz, “though reports have former MTV VJ Ananda Lewis as a possible host.”
Louderback is completely content with his show airing on the Web. “I don’t think you can just take something online and just slap it on television. Television would destroy [Diggnation] in many ways. If we were on a network, there are a lot of f-bombs that would have to be dropped.” And then there’s the beer drinking.
