Ex-Digg brainiac (by which we mean inventor and CEO) Kevin Rose has got a new baby: Milk. It's an idea incubator, specifically behaving like a development lab for "out there" ideas. It's targeting the mobile Net. And it's got some distinguishing features.

Rose only left Digg a few weeks ago, which suggests that he's had the mechanisms behind Milk in work for quite some time already. In fact, the roots of the project probably stretch back to the early days of Digg, because along with Rose, Milk will be supported by Daniel Burka--a key figure in Digg's design. And we can probably see even more elements of Milk's thinking in Rose's self-penned bio on his website: "My name is Kevin. I live in San Francisco where I climb rocks, drink tea and experiment on the internet. I'm a technology angel investor and the founder of Digg." Location in tech hotbed of San Francisco, Net technology, experimentation, entrepreneurship, and alternative thinking (tea? in America?)--it's all right there.
