Digg is on the market for 300 million. - GoFuckYourself.com

Barefootsies · 12-17-2007, 09:53 PM

It seems like every other month rumors of Digg either being acquired or being shopped come up (see our November summary here). VentureBeat has word that Digg is getting serious about a sale and has hired Allen & Company to shop the site for $300 million.

Investment bank Allen & Company has been involved in a number of high profile acquisitions and mergers previously, including Seagram and Universal Studios, Hasbro and Galoob Toys, and Disney and Capital Cities/ABC. An interesting tidbit on the company: it apparently doesn?t like publicity to the point that it doesn?t even maintain a website.

The obvious question is will Digg sell with a $300 million valuation given that it has been on the market (quietly) for months with no interest to date?

If anybody has a spare $300 million and would like to buy Digg, Allen & Company?s contact details can be found here.

Dear God. I sure hope the prospective new owners don't fuck it all up. That site is my own personal internet crack cocaine.

A sale to newscorp and I'm off to reddit.

google should buy it

teg0 · 12-18-2007, 06:36 AM

its because the site is loosing hype and its going down hill. Trying to jump ship.

farkedup · 12-18-2007, 06:43 AM

they're facing more competition and they've peaked.... 300M would just not be a smart buy. I see it going downhill a bit no matter what
