But there’s been no instance where you saw something really cool and wished you’d thought of it first?
那（這些網站）是否有一些你覺得很不錯而且希望是你最先創建的業務？
I’ve seen some really interesting mash ups of other peoples’ data that are really fun to play around with,
我確實看到過一些非常有趣的可以聚合他人數據的程序，把玩這些程序應該會非常有意思。
and I’ve thought it would be really cool to see what Digg data looks like with that, but I can’t think of any one feature.
我甚至想過如果把掘客網數據放入到那樣的程序中一定會很酷。但對于另外一些產品的特色，我并沒有產生這種想法。
I think some of the stuff that StumbleUpon is doing with their toolbar and providing recommendations in the toolbar is really interesting to us,
我個人覺得，社會瀏覽網絡StumbleUpon的工具欄做得很好，它能夠給用戶提供很多建議，我們覺得很有意思，
but not right now. We have a very basic toolbar right now today.
但我們并沒有決定現在就去做，因為我們目前有一個非常基本的工具欄。
How has the current financial situation changed things at Digg?
現今的金融環境為迪格帶來什么改變？
That stuff really started to unfold right after you raised your Series C round.
因為在掘客網進行第三輪融資后不久，美國金融危機就開始爆發。
Nothing’s changed. One of the nice things about Digg is we’ve always run fairly lean.
什么都沒有改變。掘客網擁有很多令人羨慕的優勢, 其中包括我們歷來采取的“精打細算”戰略。
We have a small team and we’re a very text-heavy site, so as far as bandwidth is concerned it’s not like we*re YouTube spending a million dollars a week on bandwidth.
掘客網團隊規模很小，網站內容主要也是文本文件為主。在帶寬事宜上，我們并不需要像優圖網那樣每周都要投入數百萬美元資金。
For us it's just always being conscious of who we’re hiring and why we’re hiring them, and do we need that person or not.
對我們而言，我們總在考慮我們要雇用誰，為什么會雇用他們，我們需不需要那個人。
We won’t be a 400-person company in a year or two years.
在今后一兩年時間里，我們并不會成為一家擁有400名員工的公司。
It's just picking the spots where we need some help and growing slowly,
我們只是在挑選我們在哪些方面需要一些支持，需要慢慢發展，
and staging that growth so it mirrors our own Web traffic growth.
增長會在一定程度上反映我們的網站流量
it’s always been out of necessity.
網絡流量并不總是業務發展的必要條件。
Are you anticipating a traffic drop after the election?
大選之后，你預料掘客網流量是否會出現下降？
We don’t anticipate that, no.
我們不期望那樣。
That’s a good question though...we’ve always seen traffic grow month over month.
但這個問題問得很好，掘客網流量一直都是在逐月遞增。
We're fortunate enough to be in that position, and we’ve seen the different bumps as little things that come along.
很幸運我們能保持增長，即使沒有出現什么大新聞，我們仍能保持不同程度的增長。
