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...

Remember custom reddits? Back in January I spoke with MG Seigler about his experiences with then a closed beta service called “custom Reddits.” Essentially, it as a niche filter moderated by power users of the Reddit service, and later I was invited along with a number of other bloggers from across the tech blogosphere to help moderate the filter. The feature has been hugely popular in terms of helping...

As smaller rivals Reddit and Mixx already offer, news aggregator site Digg plans to introduce “sub-Diggs” that let small groups of users create their own news aggregators, according to The Windy Citizen. It’s not clear if this means sub-sites within Digg.com or if users will be able to use Digg’s software to create completely separate [...]

Frequent commenter and news-tipper Alex left this in our comments and I thought it deserved more prominence. for the record I wholly agree with him. I think the toxicity of the internet has been creeping ever upwards these past years and you only have to look at a lightly-moderated forum to see it.

The TechCrunch article that stirred things up, is not unveiling their sources, so knowing that it didn’t happen the first time they reported (in March) and the fact that this whole deal won’t happen for a few weeks, I’m really cautious this time. I’m sure Google is interested in buying a solution for Yahoo’s Buzz and wants to get their hands on the advertising deal Digg has with MSN, but there’s a...
