    Google In Final Negotiations To Acquire Digg For ?Around $200 Million?

    The companies are now in final negotiations according to our sources, although it could be a couple of weeks before it closes. And while the major deal points have been agreed on, the acquisition could still fall apart. Microsoft, which was previously interested in the company, may be willing to step back in at a much lower price.

    A great buy for whoever gets it....

      I'd love to have just the money that gets spent on catering and travel when deals like this are negotiated.

              Why buy one when you can get two for twice as much...

                      do real people actually use digg for anything other than spamming?

                                  I still use digg, though it has gone to shit a bit with the same stories repeating themselves (Obama, etc). I am sure Google could do something nice with it though, maybe even fix up the joke of a recommendation engine.

                                      Digg was a good idea the guy is a dork tho.

                                      $200 sounds about right.

                                              Kevin Rose is far from a dork. I met him once back when TechTv was still around. Have a book him and Leo Leport and couple other signed, including the wanna be tom green guy. Oh Martin something hmm

                                              Didnt expect him to become 200 million richer though. Congrats!

                                                  yawn Kevin Rose will be lucky to get 10% of that if it does sell

                                                          Not sure what they plan on doing with it. I can see buying Youtube, but not sure where Digg will go in the future.

                                                          I got bored of it after every story was either about how heroic Pirate Bay is, how amazing Obama is, or how perfect Apple is.

                                                          Brilliant idea and well executed for sure, though.

                                                                                                                  Even when he was young on TECH TV---- he was still pretty cool.

                                                                                                                  But he's matured alot...--- If anything----He's still a lil' young.

                                                                                                                  He gets drunk and does some crazy shit.
