digg

more misinformation from Tech Crunch...yawn.

I think they know the only thing that makes them different is that they are Not corporate owned. As soon as it does become corporate, the users that make Digg what it is will disappear very quickly.
More and more I find myself turning away from traditional media because I can smell the agenda on every story, not to mention the fact that they over dramatize the smallest event to sell more advertising.
How many positive stories about Linux would appear here if it were owned by Microsoft?

Yaay.
No sell Digg

It's completely inaccurate. The bidding war is actually between Yahoo and AOL.

Wow. Really? That's a little bit of insight into the credibility of blogs.

Gee, the title of this could be a little bit more specific.

Im glad the rumors are not true, Microsoft and Google would f**k up one of the best sites on the internet

damn, now kevin still won't be able to buy alex a steak dinner.

Good to hear.

Something was inaccurate? On the internet? Are you sure? Did someone check this out on the internet? Try Wikipedia or Craigslist.

All I can say is I'm happy digg isn't selling out
Great work guys!

Nice. Hopefully the people and companies that provided VC funding will eventually see some sort of return on their investment. This ruled out two companies that tend to overpay for anything they acquire.

*****

But...but...who should I believe?!

No way......everything I read on the Internet is true. How can this be?

Dugg for proving the internet wrong and/or inaccurate.

Pfft, they're just trying to keep it hush hush.
Would you expect them to actually tell you if it were true and potentially sour the deal ?

It may not be true .. but this proves nothing.

What a relief! I was a bit worried there for a while.

Blogspam. Buried.

How can we be sure this is true?

This title would also work for a picture of Demi Moore's daughter going to the 'girl doctor'.

So lets find the person who provided the misinformation and crush them!

Just as I was getting used to the idea of Digg being Google-fied.

What makes me curious is his choice of words. He did not say they were untrue, he said they were "inaccurate". Huge difference in meaning.

Yeah...no company has EVER denied rumors even when they are true.

You mean this rumor is not true. Oh silly me,say ain't so Jay! I was hoping to recover from my internet addiction. Courses!
Dam you Jay!

I was unable to find anything about it other than the original statement..... am I too ignorant to follow a digg post???? I just don't know.

Cyborg

Who does this Arrington think he is?

"rolling out great features". Ahhh, but it's the ***** features that make digg what it is!

We should all be embracing this news, not downing it.... Jay made that blog; it's not blog spam; and if you think its blog spam, You're and idiot...
GTFO

Even if you point out the difference in meaning between untrue and inaccurate, I think the modifier of "completely" removes all doubt.

Whatever.

actually, the bidding war is between Warren Buffet and Bill Gates who are bidding on the rights to a Seinfeld series rumored to not be in pre-production.

digg is serious business.

Inaccurate article on Digg??? No way!

Why are so people stuck on build and sell? Are you ashamed of what you've done? Just keep your cool site in you back pocket and build more cool stuff.

yay!

He said it's inaccurate, but didn't elaborate on what the situation actually was. So it's just not an all-out bidding war, but they are still interested? Or what?

Well, I'm completely shocked to find out that popularity isn't a sufficient gauge for accuracy and that a stampeding herd can be completely misguided.

Who knew?

This from a guy with a sink faucet taped to his monitor. J/k. Set 'em straight, Jay.

If I were you guys, I'd just take the money and live out some dreams. Maybe help out a few other people to live out their dreams. So, basically I'm saying you guys are more dedicated than me. Digg on!

business will remain strategic, and I hope your right Jay
what would google want digg for anyways???

Title is too freakin vague ... needs title like "Rumors and Speculation about Digg" ... I almost passed it over w/o reading.

Buried as inaccurate.

WTF?!

Science Be Praised!!

iF A RUMOR WAS A TUMOR WE'D ALL HAVE CANCER
