Social news site Digg announces 10% layoffs

According to foreign media reports, the social news site Digg announced that it will lay off about 10% of the workforce, which means the affected staff will not exceed 10 people.

Jay Adelson (Jay Adelson), chief executive of Digg, resigned one months ago.

"This is one of the toughest decisions we have had to make recently, but we firmly believe that this is the right decision for the long-term development of the company," said Kevin Rose, founder and chief executive of Digg, Kevin Ross. To achieve our goals, we are devoting more resources to technology and development. Because technology and development are critical to our success, we are still recruiting people for this. The only way for us to succeed is to ' improvise '. ”

Digg has been developing a revamped website, but it has been a difficult one: Shortly before Adelson's departure, Digg chief Strategy Officer Maik Masses (Mike Maser) switched to AOL and took a number of Digg employees.
