Well, Michael Arrington is reporting over at TechCrunch that several inside sources at both Google and Digg are reviving the rumour mill that GOOG is digging Kevin Rose’s hugely popular (and often much-hated) Digg.com.
Apparently, the price is said to be in the $200M range…. and is within 2 weeks of being announced.
I’m surprised a bit at the dollar number and I think it isn’t so much for the intellectual property (err, Digg algorithms) but for the huge user base and very sticky audience that Digg enjoys.
Will Kevin Rose be moving to the GooglePlex?
Comme on dit en français: à suivre.
