Apple rumors can amount to massive attention for any blog, a rule of thumb that even applies to Digg founder Kevin Rose. It's difficult for bloggers to resist the delicious temptation of spreading Apple rumors along with a "leaked photo" as the prize inside. A juicy Apple rumor posted on Digg can make your blogg instantly popular for a fleeting moment helping to cure most forms of boredom.
His recent set of rumors (with almost 3,000 Diggs) are not the first time Kevin Rose has speculated about Apple product releases and it won't be his last. He launched some nearly on target iPhone predictions back in December of 2006. Rose is a really smart guy, he's not going to kill a good thing just because people scoff at his predictions or wax on about his Apple rumors video being poorly lit. (looking more like a hostage video released by Al Qaeda).
Kevin Rose believes that the next 2-3 weeks will reveal a new thinner taller iPod nano with curved screen, a wildly exciting iTunes 8.0 among a handful of other quality predictions. I'm convinced that the Kevin Rose Blogg is the future of Apple rumors. He is the new MacRumors site minus the forum or accuracy, count on it.
I would only suggest that if Kevin is going to continue doing video, he should hook up with sassy "ego blogger" iJustine to make his productions more web friendly and less goth. iJustine has nailed the medium and mastered the art of the extreme close up. Justine even has a new branded iJustine tee shirt. Rose could benefit from some quality schwag like an "i am kevin rose" tee shirt or "drink kevin rose" coffee mug. People believe that people handing out free schwag are credible. Digg that! Don't hate, it's a fact people.
