I got that one from Problogger today and I think it’s worth sharing. It’s a talk Kevin Rose gave at fowa (future of web apps) in which he’s sharing some tips on taking your site/web app from one to a million users. You know, kinda useful.

If you don’t know who Kevin Rose is, he’s the founder of the popular site Digg.

Honestly, it’s not rocket science, but I really liked the part where he talked about hacking the press, getting some coverage from big news networks (WallStreet journal, TechCrunch, etc.), using events to demo your product and getting influencers to talk about you.

Whether you build web apps, websites or blogs, there are surely some useful tips you can get from this talk.

Enjoy.
