can we just have this thing become another Digg and go away already? this is so ...

I hope Digg is planning a DiggV5 for the reverse migration.

It would be pretty funny if Kevin Rose bought Digg back and turned it into something not sucky that let’s people post links and comment on them. This could finally be his chance to make the twitter clone he always wanted.

I was actually surprised to find that digg.com is still around, even though it mostly seems to be a reddit repost site in it's current iteration.

Yeah, I think they sold out to some private equity firm that tore it down, but I guess finds it profitable to repost stuff. I think it sold for $30M so I’m sure the current owners would give it up for pretty cheap.

I wonder who uses it. Maybe it’s just a google seo farm or something (although I’ve never seen it in my results).
