5 Reasons Google's acquisition of Digg is good for Diggers

chroniclesofthebored.blogspot.… — I read yesterday that Google and Digg are close to a deal for $200 Million. I thought about it last night and wondered what this meant for Diggers like myself. I decided that it would be a good thing and here are 5 reasons why.

  • lordewoks, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4Anyone care to put out reasons why this will be bad for Diggers?
  • dmightx, on 09/21/2008, -0/+4I would love to see an improved search engine for digg. Every time I look for a Digg article I go to google.com then search for it there.
  • irishhairball, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3i agree on #2 and #1 as 'good for Diggers'.
    the other 3 would be fun, but not necessarily good
  • poploserdigg, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3why would anyone willingly label themselves a Digger?
  • techblogLAT, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2One of the reasons is to avoid more unnecessary competition in the social news arena. Maybe this will stop Google from releasing that stupid social search prototype.
  • kathcom, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2I agree with pcore--Digg's search engine totally sucks.
    #1 would be good to combat the Digg effect.
    But does anyone worry about private information being aggregated, considering the ruling on telecom immunity and the Youtube/Viacom fiasco?
    • lordewoks, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1I suppose that would only become an issue if Digg started hosting pirated videos
