History

The company was formed in Los Angeles, California by Jay Adelson, Kevin Rose, Dan Huard, Keith Harrison and Ron Gorodetzky in April 2005. Rose, Huard and Harrison were previously employees of the television network TechTV, where they first released ''thebroken'', a videozine related to computer hacking. After TechTV merged with G4 (with subsequent layoffs, including Huard, name change to G4techTV and later reverting back to G4, along with programming changes) and lost most of its technology related programming, Rose and Huard were inspired to create a new series, ''Systm'', which is geared toward “the common geek”.
The name Revision3 refers to the progression television has, and will make over the years. As described by Jay Adelson and David Prager, "Revision 1: Cable, adding general interest channels, catering to most common denominator. Revision 2: PC-based Internet video, indy films, no business model, no loyalty, no audience. Revision3: TV and Internet converge. iPods, TiVo, mobile, broadband enable mass, loyal audience to shift to on-demand, niche content." (Revision 0 is, of course, standard broadcast television of yesterday).
On August 5, 2005, David Prager and Alex Albrecht joined Revision3. Albrecht co-hosts ''Diggnation'' with Rose and contributes to other projects, while Prager contributes to production and business development.
Rose left his job as a host of the G4 series ''Attack of the Show'' (formerly ''The Screen Savers'') on May 27, 2005 to work full time for Revision3 Corporation.
Rose announced on the September 16 episode of Diggnation that Keith Harrison had left Revision3 to "do his own stuff"^[2]
On September 27, 2006, Revision3 launched their new site, as well as new shows. The new shows are Mysteries of Science, NotMTV, PixelPerfect, and Web Drifter.
In November 2006, the Diggnation podcast accepted sponsorship from the Microsoft Zune and HD-DVD, and the March 8, 2007, episode was sponsored by IBM. This was considered a major development for Revision3.
