- Yesterday at the South by Southwest Interactive 2009 conference going on in Austin, Texas, Kevin (”Digg”) Rose confirmed that Apple (AAPL) will finally introduce a copy-and-paste function in the upcoming iPhone update, TBA on March 17th (iPhone 3.0). Rose’s claim was caught on tape in between a taping session of his show, Diggnation. Derek Steen, an Australian photographer, was the first one to get the video up to the public. Here is what he said the C&P experience will be like:
1. You double tap on a word (or, presumably, an insertion point)
2. A kind of magnifying glass appears with quote marks on either side of the selection
3. You drag the quote marks forward or back to surround the section you want to work with
4. You choose one of three buttons: Copy, Paste or Cut
- Beyond Copy and Paste, the iPhone 3.0 software will match any technology that the Palm Pre is said to be offering in their upcoming release. Rose says he was told by a “friend who has been right before” that, in general, iPhone 3.0 will offer every function that the Palm (PALM) Pre promised but the iPhone didn’t yet have.
- Rose has a decent track record with breaking Apple news. He has to filter through a lot of noise, as he receives many stories from ‘friends’, who may or may not be trying to just get some attention from him with a false rumor.

- Six Apart, the blogging platform company, is buying Twitter clone Pownce
- Co-founder Leah Culver and full-time employee Mike Malone will join Six Apart to help with new products. As for the Pownce product, it is supposedly being shut down.
- SixApart either bought Pownce for their technology and intelligent management or they are just going to bring it back to life with a better focus to take down Twitter.
- Most likely they will bring back the Pownce brand, but develop some micro-blogging integrations into SixAparts platform that go hand in hand with what Powence will relaunch as.
- No word on the price. We just know it’s another pay day for Digg founder, Kevin Rose.

- Stan Schroeder at Mashable says that he finds Digg’s recommendation engine more or less useless. I have to agree.
- Digg spent a lot of time hyping the recommendation feature back when they released the beta of the service in June.
- The system attempts to match you up with other Diggers who have similar interests based on the history of things you and others have Dugg in the past.
- The fact is, a large percentage of people using Digg are marketers who will Digg a ton of random stories so that they get Diggs on their own articles in return. This makes the “who-Dugg-what” data useless for recommending anything.
- Back to the drawing board on this one Digg.
