It was big news that was leaked that Google has been in talks with Digg about a possible purchase. It doesn’t come as a huge surprise to me that Google would be interested in purchasing Digg. At the same time, it also does not surprise me that they walked away from the table.

Many sources are reporting that Google was ready to purchase Digg for an estimated $200 million dollars, but walked away and buried the deal during the final stage of purchase. I believe that TechCrunch was the first to report on it.

While some speculate that it was a “personality issue”, it is very possible that Google did not like what they saw when they got into the technology behind Digg. There is some speculation that Google will be adding some “Digg-Like” features to their search engine. Perhaps Google decided that their technology was better and has opted to bury Digg like they did their deal.

Only time will tell. Just remember to bow to your Google Overlords and then watch the video of how Google will take over social media.
