To begin with, people will need to be using Google Reader as their news aggregator.Which means that before Google Reader could kill Digg, it would have to kill the likes of Bloglines, NetVibes, NewsGator, Rojo and the hundreds of news aggregators out there. And to think that Google could dominate the news aggregator space doesn't sound like music to my ears, to tell you the truth.Digg is one site, but news aggregator services is a very wide space/market - and hopefully it can continue being that, rather than yet another pseudo-monopoly in the hands of a GYM co.

I use Google Reader for many feeds but I don't put any Digg feeds in it. I come to Digg for community as well as news.

Digg has a huge community that will never die. We have so much invested in what we've dugg that it'll be hard to change. On the other hand, there will be digg-like communities that popup, because digg doesn't appeal to everyone.
