Sara Kehaulani Goo at the Washington Post writes an article about our own Corey Spring, Jason Calacanis, Sarah Gim, Wayne Welch, and Derek Van Vliet. Calacanis quips in the article: "[The Navigators] have a different skill set analogous to other jobs out there but perhaps most analogous to 'cool hunting.' It's almost like urban archeology."

Many folks were shocked by the concept of paying top bookmarkers--gasp!--money for their hard work.However, over the past two weeks people are starting to understand that there is nothing wrong with volunteer firefighter becoming a paid fighterfighter, if that is what they want to do of course.

You gotta love it: Kevin Rose says users shouldn't be paid even though 30% of the front page stories come from the top 10 users on DIGG. Congrats on the cover of BusinessWeek Kevin, but be careful counting those chickens before they hatch (from someone who's been there).

"My hope is that the first 10 Navigators do such an amazing job that we can extend our offer out to other members of the DIGG, NEWSVINE, and REDDIT top 10."

Well, now that all the Navigators have been outed, I thought I'd share some of my opinions on why I chose to accept the Calacanis offer. Basically, it boils down to the fact that I think Netscape could use some improvement, and I think I can help out (and the money doesn't hurt, either)

Though sounding like something out of higher maths it's much simpler: a bet between two high-profile bloggers about whether in two years (or perhaps five) people will get paid for submitting content to sites like Digg and Flickr.

"Bottom line: the wikipedia is hard to use by design. If it is hard by design, isn't that against the core mission of wikipedia to allow everyone to edit?"

The Diggtrends website has just done some stats relating to Netscape owner's offer to buy out digg's top users. It'll be published tomorrow, but they gave me an advance look.

Jason blogs Hacking Days: "It's 100 degrees here in Boston, and I spent the morning walking around MIT trying to find 'Wikimania: Hacking Days,' a small pre-conference of the Wikimania conference which starts on Friday."
