When Kevin Rose Tweets Your Story
A few weeks ago, I visited Digg founder Kevin Rose’s new startup in the Mission to do a 7x7 shoot with one of the most stylish guys in tech, Milk creative director Daniel Burka. Once the issue hit newsstands, I sent Daniel a link to the story on my Flickr account, which I use as a kind of portfolio for most of my work. Within two hours, my Flickr page had 5,000 views thanks to tweets from Daniel and Kevin. Just to put that into perspective, up until that point, the most views I’d received on a single day was 178. It’s the first time anything I’ve done has gone remotely viral, and I still get a few hundred views on these two images every day.
