So it’s not like they’re really closely tied together.
由此看來，掘客視頻播客和掘客 網(wǎng)之間并沒有特別緊密的聯(lián)系。
You said you’re going to stay at Digg for a while.
你說過，今后還會在掘客網(wǎng)待上一段時間。
You just raised a big Series C round.
掘客網(wǎng)剛剛完成其第三輪融資計劃
Does this mean the company’s going to stay independent (i.e. not get bought) for longer than originally planned?
這是否意味著掘客網(wǎng)可在更長時間內保持獨立，而不會被其他企業(yè)收購，而不是像最初計劃的那樣？
The nice thing about the last raise is that it wasn‘t like “oh，we’re out of money, we need to raise more"，
對于最近一次融資，最讓我們感到欣慰的是，我們并不是因為資金緊張才去融資。
it was more based on the fact that we knew we wanted to expand into different languages
更多的是因為我們想進一步拓展，推出更多不同語言的版本
and we knew we had to buy racks of servers over in Europe, and all that takes capital to make happen.
此外，我們覺得必須針對歐洲市場購入大量服務器。要實現(xiàn)這些目標，都需要有足夠資金作為支撐。
We sat down and said, okay, where do we want to be a few years from now and what are the resources that we need to make that happen?
我們坐在一起談，那么，我們希望在未來幾年內發(fā)展成什么規(guī)模，我們現(xiàn)在需要獲取哪些資源以實現(xiàn)目標？
We would’ve ran out of cash had we executed on that plan to expand internationally.
如果我們實施原計劃向目標擴張，則可能早已破產。
That raise was really, okay, let’s build the team that we need in San Francisco to continue to evolve the product,
我們必須打造在舊金山打拼所需要的團隊，同時升級產品，
and invest in R&D and continue to scale the site, but at the same time let’s talk about international next year.
并加大在研發(fā)方面的投入，繼續(xù)擴大網(wǎng)站規(guī)模。當然國際化也是我們必須考慮的問題，但最好還是留到明年。
So that’s what this is for.
這就是融資的原因。
What about other social news sites?
你對其他社會新聞網(wǎng)站怎么看？
Are any of them doing things that Digg isn’t that you’re hoping to emulate in one way or another?
它們當中的一些網(wǎng)站是否擁有一些掘客網(wǎng)沒有并希望以某種形式效仿的功能？
That’s a good question. I really don’t use anybody else’s product.
這個問題問得很好。說實話，我真的還沒用過其他的產品，
I’ve never used their services at all，I think I've maybe “buzzed” one article when (Yahoo Buzz) first came out.
也從沒有使用過他們的服務。在雅虎Buzz新聞評級服務第一次出現(xiàn)時，我似乎在上面上傳過一篇文章。
We don’t really base our product decisions on what anybody else is doing.
但我們在開發(fā)產品時，從來不以他人產品作為參考對象。
