Rumor : Digg May be for Sale
The Rumor mills are at work again, and this time its Digg which is making the rounds. Apparently Digg is up for sale for about $300 Million. Valleywag editor Owen Thomas tells that "a source rules out all the big Internet players–not Microsoft, not Google, not Yahoo, not News Corp.," and that CBS had "taken itself out of the running."
Thomas also went on to speculate who the actual buyers might be, and he thinks it might be the New York Times, or the Washington Post. The reason you are not seeing a big technology company here is because, Digg has always been a news oriented site and a Big Media company might be the ideal fit for Digg incase it does get sold.
