Google and Digg

Well, I know you can already integrate Digg pages with iGoogle and embed it right on the top of the page, so there's something going on there. Wasn't Digg looking for really big bucks in the past but never got it?

the new google search

The demonstration in the techcrunch article / video shows a melding of the digg user voting system into web search results. Digg voting is limited to story posts and not applied to search engine results. In my mind, these are different systems and there still is room for Google to buy Digg if it so wished. Why buy Digg? Well, Yahoo has entered the space with buzzit. It's getting crowded. Google has lots of cash and a history of moving slow in the delopment world.
