Digg Prediction: Will it be acquired in Q1 2008?

Most of us go it right. Digg was not acquired in Q1 2008.

User-generated news site Digg has been working with influential investment bank Allen & Co. (the ones that recently got Slide a half billion dollar valuation) for a few months now, and pitching big tech and media companies on a sale. Digg is prepared to take less than the $300 million Allen & Co. were floating late last year. Google, our source says, will likely bid $200-$225 million, which Digg would likely accept.

I say no.

the digg community is too defensive.

Acquisition doesn't happen as often as we think.

I love the Digg concept, but I get information overload ever time I visit it. Not sure if the Digg way will become mainstream.

the digg communiity is too defensive .. don't think any big corp would like to acquire it.

I think it is still hard for general users to get into the Digg culture. Makes me wonder if big players like Google or Microsoft is even interested in buying.
