marTEA.com was started out of my interest for both technology and tea. During the creation of marTEA.com, I found a lot of inspiration from sites like digg.com. Digg is a social bookmarking website that has caught major attention around the world. Digg would not exist, at least not in its current popularity, without co-founder Kevin Rose and the faithful digg community. I’ve been listening to Kevin’s popular podcast called Diggnation for years. In fact, Kevin and co-host Alex Albrecht took a week off of their normal beer drinking to recover from a trip to Japan and drank Adagio tea for an episode in 2005. If you know the show, there’s a lot of beer drinking that tends to take its toll on the hosts. Anyway, that episode inspired me to combine the two things that interest me – technology and tea. I actually purchased the Digg themed Adagio tea samples in early 2006. As a tribute to Kevin and digg, I’ve included a “Digg This” link with every story I post. marTEA.com would like to continue its dedication to all things tea by allowing the digg community to promote tea related news and reviews. If you want to try some of the tea blends that Kevin and Alex have been drinking in their recent shows visit adagio.com/diggnation.
