Digg Deal's Dead

TechCrunch reports that at the 11th hour, Google walked away from a deal to acquire Digg. Given the perfectly good news-recommendation features being used by more and more users at sites like Yahoo already, it looks like it may not be a great fit for anyone; thus, Digg might indeed have to raise more capital and go it alone. It would be overzealous of Microsoft to acquire it, IMHO, but maybe a strengthened partnership is in the cards.

I would think that for the money (a lot less), Pligg would be a much savvier acquisition.

Like this post? You can always Digg it or Sphinn it. :)
